On monotonicity of expected values of some run-related distributions

چکیده
We prove that the expectation of the binomial distribution of order k with success probability p is monotonically increasing with respect to p for all n and k. The result is extended to the problems on exchangeable random sequences and expectations of distributions of mixtures of binomial distributions of order k are studied. If the mixing measure is stochastically increasing with respect to its parameter, the expectation of the mixture of binomial distributions of order k becomes nondecreasing. As examples of mixing measures two submodels of beta distributions are examined and the resulting expectation of the mixture distribution is monotonically strictly increasing. Further, we prove some properties on the expectation of the -overlapping 1-runs in a sequence of independent and identically distributed n trials.

Testing a Point Null Hypothesis against One-Sided for Non Regular and Exponential Families: The Reconcilability Condition to P-values and Posterior Probability
In this paper, the reconcilability between the P-value and the posterior probability in testing a point null hypothesis against the one-sided hypothesis is considered. Two essential families, non regular and exponential family of distributions, are studied. It was shown in a non regular family of distributions; in some cases, it is possible to find a prior distribution function under which P-va...
متن کاملStochastic bounds for a single server queue with general retrial times
We propose to use a mathematical method based on stochastic comparisons of Markov chains in order to derive performance indice bounds. The main goal of this paper is to investigate various monotonicity properties of a single server retrial queue with first-come-first-served (FCFS) orbit and general retrial times using the stochastic ordering techniques.
متن کاملOn discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions
Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...
متن کاملSome Results on Equilibrium Distributions
The equilibrium distributions have many applications in reliability theory, stochastic orderings and random processes. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the equilibrium distributions and presents some results related to this issue. Some results are based on order statistics. In this paper, the generalized Pareto distributions are also analyzed and some basic relationships between t...
