Stochastically ordered multiple regression.
In various application areas, prior information is available about the direction of the effects of multiple predictors on the conditional response distribution. For example, in epidemiology studies of potentially adverse exposures and continuous health responses, one can typically assume a priori that increasing the level of an exposure does not lead to an improvement in the health response. Su...
متن کاملStochastically Ordered Synchronized Queues
We consider a synchronized queueing system in which customers arrive according to a Poisson process to a station consisting of c parallel servers, each with its own queue. Upon arrival, customers split into parts and each part joins the corresponding queue. Under the assumption that the service requirements of the c parts of each customer are strongly ordered we obtain the joint distribution of...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Stochastically Ordered Distributions of Categorical Variables
This paper considers a nite set of discrete distributions all having the same nite support. The problem of interest is to assess the strength of evidence produced by sampled data for a hypothesis of a speciied stochastic ordering among the underlying distributions and to estimate these distributions subject to the ordering. We present a Bayesian approach alternative to the use of the posterior ...
متن کاملEstimating Stochastically Ordered Survival Functions via Geometric Programming
Many procedures have been proposed to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimates (NPMLEs) of survival functions under various stochastic ordering constraints. Each of the existing procedures is applicable only to a specific type of stochastic order constraint and often hard to implement. In this paper, we describe a method for computing the NPMLEs of survival functions, based on geo...
متن کاملPointwise nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of stochastically ordered survivor functions.
In this paper, we consider estimation of survivor functions from groups of observations with right-censored data when the groups are subject to a stochastic ordering constraint. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to estimate distribution functions under such restrictions, but none have completely satisfactory properties when the observations are censored. We propose a pointwise cons...
