Tail orderings and the total time on test transform

Jarosław Bartoszewicz (1996)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper presents some connections between two tail orderings of distributions and the total time on test transform. The procedure for testing the pure-tail ordering is proposed.

Information-type divergence when the likelihood ratios are bounded

Andrew Rukhin (1997)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The so-called ϕ-divergence is an important characteristic describing "dissimilarity" of two probability distributions. Many traditional measures of separation used in mathematical statistics and information theory, some of which are mentioned in the note, correspond to particular choices of this divergence. An upper bound on a ϕ-divergence between two probability distributions is derived when the likelihood ratio is bounded. The usefulness of this sharp bound is illustrated by several...
