Some results on a doubly truncated generalized discrimination measure

Suchandan Kayal, Rajesh Moharana (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Doubly truncated data appear in some applications with survival and astrological data. Analogous to the doubly truncated discrimination measure defined by Misagh and Yari (2012), a generalized discrimination measure between two doubly truncated non-negative random variables is proposed. Several bounds are obtained. It is remarked that the proposed measure can never be equal to a nonzero constant which is independent of the left and right truncated points. The effect of monotone transformations on...

Stability of invariant linearly sufficient statistics in the general Gauss-Markov model

Andrzej Kornacki (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the inclusions J 0 J and J 0 * J * to be fulfilled where J 0 , J 0 * and J , J * are some classes of invariant linearly sufficient statistics (Oktaba, Kornacki, Wawrzosek (1988)) corresponding to the Gauss-Markov models G M 0 = ( y , X 0 β 0 , σ 0 2 V 0 ) and G M = ( y , X β , σ 2 V ) , respectively.

Statistical applications of order α - β weighted information energy

María Del Carmen Pardo, Julio A. Pardo (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

A statistic using the concept of order α - β weighted information energy introduced by Tuteja et al. (1992) is considered and its asymptotic distribution in a stratified random sampling is obtained. Some special cases are also discussed.

Stochastic domination for iterated convolutions and catalytic majorization

Guillaume Aubrun, Ion Nechita (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study how iterated convolutions of probability measures compare under stochastic domination. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an integer n such that μ*n is stochastically dominated by ν*n for two given probability measures μ and ν. As a consequence we obtain a similar theorem on the majorization order for vectors in Rd. In particular we prove results about catalysis in quantum information theory.

Sufficiency in bayesian models

Konrad Furmańczyki, Wojciech Niemiro (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider some fundamental concepts of mathematical statistics in the Bayesian setting. Sufficiency, prediction sufficiency and freedom can be treated as special cases of conditional independence. We give purely probabilistic proofs of the Basu theorem and related facts.
