Comparison of order statistics in a random sequence to the same statistics with I.I.D. variables

Jean-Louis Bon, Eugen Păltănea (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The paper is motivated by the stochastic comparison of the reliability of non-repairable k -out-of- n systems. The lifetime of such a system with nonidentical components is compared with the lifetime of a system with identical components. Formally the problem is as follows. Let U i , i = 1 , . . . , n , be positive independent random variables with common distribution F . For λ i > 0 and μ > 0 , let consider X i = U i / λ i and Y i = U i / μ , i = 1 , . . . , n . Remark that this is no more than a change of scale for each term. For k { 1 , 2 , . . . , n } , let us define X k : n to be the k th order statistics...

The paper is motivated by the stochastic comparison of the reliability of non-repairable k-out-of-n systems. The lifetime of such a system with nonidentical components is compared with the lifetime of a system with identical components. Formally the problem is as follows. Let Ui,i = 1,...,n, be positive independent random variables with common distribution F. For λi > 0 and µ > 0, let consider Xi = Ui/λi and Yi = Ui/µ, i = 1,...,n.

Concomitants and linear estimators in an i-dimensional extremal model.

M. Ivette Gomes (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

We consider here a multivariate sample Xj = (X1.j > ... > Xi.j), 1 ≤ j ≤ n, where the Xj, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, are independent i-dimensional extremal vectors with suitable unknown location and scale parameters λ and δ respectively. Being interested in linear estimation of these parameters, we consider the multivariate sample Zj, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, of the order statistic of largest values and their concomitants, and the best linear unbiased estimators of λ and δ based on such multivariate sample. Computational...

Congruences and ideals in lattice effect algebras as basic algebras

Sylvia Pulmannová, Elena Vinceková (2009)

Kybernetika

Effect basic algebras (which correspond to lattice ordered effect algebras) are studied. Their ideals are characterized (in the language of basic algebras) and one-to-one correspondence between ideals and congruences is shown. Conditions under which the quotients are OMLs or MV-algebras are found.

Consistency of the least weighted squares under heteroscedasticity

Jan Ámos Víšek (2011)

Kybernetika

A robust version of the Ordinary Least Squares accommodating the idea of weighting the order statistics of the squared residuals (rather than directly the squares of residuals) is recalled and its properties are studied. The existence of solution of the corresponding extremal problem and the consistency under heteroscedasticity is proved.

Constructing copulas by means of pairs of order statistics

Ali Dolati, Manuel Úbeda-Flores (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we introduce two transformations on a given copula to construct new and recover already-existent families. The method is based on the choice of pairs of order statistics of the marginal distributions. Properties of such transformations and their effects on the dependence and symmetry structure of a copula are studied.

Cyclic random motions in d -space with n directions

Aimé Lachal (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the probability distribution of the location of a particle performing a cyclic random motion in d . The particle can take n possible directions with different velocities and the changes of direction occur at random times. The speed-vectors as well as the support of the distribution form a polyhedron (the first one having constant sides and the other expanding with time t). The distribution of the location of the particle is made up of two components: a singular component (corresponding...
