Let $(\Phi,\Psi)$ be a conjugate pair of Orlicz functions. A set in the Orlicz space $L^\Phi$ is said to be order closed if it is closed with respect to dominated convergence of sequences of functions. A well known problem arising from the…

The assurance method is growing in popularity in clinical trial planning. The method involves eliciting a prior distribution for the treatment effect, and then calculating the probability that a proposed trial will produce a `successful'…

Scoring rules are used to evaluate the quality of predictions that take the form of probability distributions. A scoring rule is strictly proper if its expected value is uniquely minimized by the true probability distribution. One of the…

We prove pointwise estimates to the modified Riesz potential. We show the boundedness of its Luxemburg norm. As an application we obtain Orlicz embedding results. We study the sharpness of the results.

When estimating the risk of a P&L from historical data or Monte Carlo simulation, the robustness of the estimate is important. We argue here that Hampel's classical notion of qualitative robustness is not suitable for risk measurement and…
