摘要:

The determination of plotting positions on probability graph paper so that the associated weighted least squares estimators of the scale parameter and the percentiles of a continuous distribution have certain properties is discussed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for an invariant optimal plot for percentile estimation. Also discussed is the derivation of ordered plotting positions.

摘要:

Bounds are obtained for conditional moments of random variablesX, such asE(X|X>a), and of order statistics from members of monotone failure rate families of distributions. Numerical bounds for Weibull and other families are calculated and compared. Results classifying some functions of random variables as having monotone failure rate distributions are obtained, as are characterizations of absolutely continuous distributions with cdf's of the form 1 – exp[–H(x)],x> 0.

摘要:

We consider functions which are the sum of theklargest order statistics in a sample of sizenfrom a continuous distributionF, minusnh, wherehis a specified constant. We prove that such functions are concave inn. IfFis an exponential distribution, then for a fixedkwe obtain that value ofnwhich maximizes the expected value of the function defined above. ForFIFR we obtain an upper bound onnand also an upper bound on the maximum of the expected value of the function.
