The (general) hypoexponential distribution is the distribution of a sum of independent exponential random variables. We consider the particular case when the involved exponential variables have distinct rate parameters. We prove that the…

For a bivariate random vector (X,Y), symmetry conditions are presented that yield stochastic orderings among |X|, |Y|, |max(X,Y)|, and | min(X, Y)|. Partial extensions of these results for multivariate random vectors (X1,...,Xn) are also…

In this paper we examine some relative orderings of upper and lower records. It is shown that if m > n, the mth upper record ages faster than the nth upper record, where the data sets come from a sequence of independent and identically…

Consider an unlimited homogeneous medium disturbed by points generated via Poisson process. The neighborhood of a point plays an important role in spatial statistics problems. Here, we obtain analytically the distance statistics to $k$th…

Partially ordered sets labeled with k labels (k-posets) and their homomorphisms are examined. We give a representation of directed graphs by k-posets; this provides a new proof of the universality of the homomorphism order of k-posets. This…

We study the randomized k-server problem on metric spaces consisting of widely separated subspaces. We give a method which extends existing algorithms to larger spaces with the growth rate of the competitive quotients being at most O(log…

Comparisons of different treatments or production processes are the goals of a significant fraction of applied research. Unsurprisingly, two-sample problems play a main role in Statistics through natural questions such as `Is the the new…

Closed-form expressions for the distributions of the order statistics on the spacings between order statistics for the uniform distribution are obtained. This generalizes a result by Fisher concerning tests of significance in the harmonic…

Partial orders are a natural model for the social hierarchies that may constrain "queue-like" rank-order data. However, the computational cost of counting the linear extensions of a general partial order on a ground set with more than a few…

In this paper, we consider the upper bound of the probabilistic star discrepancy based on Hilbert space filling curve sampling. This problem originates from the multivariate integral approximation, but the main result removes the strict…

Consider two sequences of heterogeneous and independent portfolios of risks $T_1,T_2,\ldots$ and $T^*_{1}, T^*_{2},\ldots$ and, let $N_1$ and $N_2$ be two positive integer-valued random variables, independent of $T_i'$ and $T^*_i$,…

Every element $\theta=(\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n)$ of the probability $n$-simplex induces a probability distribution $P_\theta$ of a random variable $X$ that can assume only a finite number of real values $x_1 < \cdots < x_n$ by defining…

Stochastic ordering among distributions has been considered in a variety of scenarios. Economic studies often involve research about the ordering of investment strategies or social welfare. However, as noted in the literature, stochastic…

The connection between random matrices and the spectral fluctuations of complex quantum systems in a suitable limit can be explained by using the setup of random matrix theory. Higher-order spacing statistics in the $m$ superposed spectra…

This work is entirely devoted to compare the largest claims from two heterogeneous portfolios. It is assumed that the claim amounts in an insurance portfolio are nonnegative absolutely continuous random variables and belong to a general…

Consider a set of order statistics that arise from sorting samples from two different populations, each with their own, possibly different distribution function. The probability that these order statistics fall in disjoint, ordered…

The comparison of alternative rankings of a set of items is a general and prominent task in applied statistics. Predictor variables are ranked according to magnitude of association with an outcome, prediction models rank subjects according…

Higher-order spacing ratios are investigated analytically using a Wigner-like surmise for Gaussian ensembles of random matrices. For $k$-th order spacing ratio $(r^{(k)}$, $k>1)$ the matrix of dimension $2k+1$ is considered. A universal…

Data represented by probability measures arise as empirical distributions, posterior distributions, and feature-based representations of complex objects. We study heterogeneity in a population of probability measures through the expected…

We show that a family of random variables is uniformly integrable if and only if it is stochastically bounded in the increasing convex order by an integrable random variable. This result is complemented by proving analogous statements for…
