In this paper, we study the stochastic comparisons of order statistics from generalized normal distributions. We obtain some sufficient conditions for ordering results based on parameter matrix and vector majorization comparisons. These conditions are necessary in some cases. 相似文献

It is shown that retrospective sampling induces stochastic order relations in case-control studies. More specifically if the
regression function is increasing and the covariates are positively dependent, then the covariates for cases are larger, with
respect to some multivariate stochastic order, than the covariates of the controls. Strong dependence concepts yield strong
multivariate stochastic orders. Conversely, different multivariate stochastic orders imply different monotonicity properties
on the regression function. The results carry over to marginal models, transformed models and to problems involving confounders.
The results set forth a new theoretical foundation for the analysis of case-control studies. 相似文献

In this paper, it is shown that a convolution of uniform distributions (a) is more dispersed and (b) has a smaller hazard rate when the scale parameters of the uniform distributions are more dispersed in the sense of majorization. It is also shown that a convolution of gamma distributions with a common shape parameter greater than 1 is larger in (a) likelihood ratio order and (b) dispersive order when the scale parameters are more dispersed in the sense of majorization. 相似文献

Stochastic ordinary differential equations are investigated for which the coefficients depend on nonlocal properties of the current random variable in the sample space such as the expected value or the second moment. The approach here covers a broad class of functional dependence of the right-hand side on the current random state and is not restricted to pathwise relations. Existence and uniqueness of solutions is obtained as a limiting process by freezing the coefficients over short time intervals and applying existence and uniqueness results and appropriate estimates for stochastic ordinary differential equations. 相似文献

Abstract This article is concerned with studying the following problem: Consider a multivariate stochastic process whose law is characterized in terms of some infinitesimal characteristics, such as the infinitesimal generator in case of finite Markov chains. Under what conditions imposed on these infinitesimal characteristics of this multivariate process, the univariate components of the process agree in law with given univariate stochastic processes. Thus, in a sense, we study a stochastic processe' counterpart of the stochastic dependence problem, which in case of real valued random variables is solved in terms of Sklar's theorem. 相似文献

The global mean of subtrees of a tree is the average order (i.e., average number of vertices) of its subtrees. Analogously, the local mean of a vertex in a tree is the average order of subtrees containing this vertex. In the comprehensive study of these concepts by Jamison (J Combin Theory Ser B 35 (1983), 207–223 and J Combin Theory Ser B 37 (1984), 70–78), several open questions were proposed. One of them asks if the largest local mean always occurs at a leaf vertex. Another asks if it is true that the local mean of any vertex of any tree is at most twice the global mean. In this note, we answer the first question by showing that the largest local mean always occurs at a leaf or a vertex of degree 2 and that both cases are possible. With this result, a positive answer to the second question is provided. We also show some related results on local mean and global mean of trees. 相似文献

Engineering design problems often involve global optimization of functions that are supplied as black box functions. These functions may be nonconvex, nondifferentiable and even discontinuous. In addition, the decision variables may be a combination of discrete and continuous variables. The functions are usually computationally expensive, and may involve finite element methods. An engineering example of this type of problem is to minimize the weight of a structure, while limiting strain to be below a certain threshold. This type of global optimization problem is very difficult to solve, yet design engineers must find some solution to their problem – even if it is a suboptimal one. Sometimes the most difficult part of the problem is finding any feasible solution. Stochastic methods, including sequential random search and simulated annealing, are finding many applications to this type of practical global optimization problem. Improving Hit-and-Run (IHR) is a sequential random search method that has been successfully used in several engineering design applications, such as the optimal design of composite structures. A motivation to IHR is discussed as well as several enhancements. The enhancements include allowing both continuous and discrete variables in the problem formulation. This has many practical advantages, because design variables often involve a mixture of continuous and discrete values. IHR and several variations have been applied to the composites design problem. Some of this practical experience is discussed. 相似文献

Let (Xi, Yi) i=1, 2, …, n be n independent and identically distributed random variables from some continuous bivariate distribution. If X(r) denotes the rth ordered X-variate then the Y-variate, Y[r], paired with X(r) is called the concomitant of the rth order statistic. In this paper we obtain new general results on stochastic comparisons and dependence among concomitants of order statistics under different types of dependence between the parent random variables X and Y. The results obtained apply to any distribution with monotone dependence between X and Y. In particular, when X and Y are likelihood ratio dependent, it is shown that the successive concomitants of order statistics are increasing according to likelihood ratio ordering and they are TP2 dependent in pairs. If we assume that the conditional hazard rate of Y given X=x is decreasing in x, then the concomitants are increasing according to hazard rate ordering and are dependent according to the right corner set increasing property. Finally, it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing in X, then the concomitants of order statistics are stochastically increasing and are associated. Analogous results are obtained when the variables X and Y are negatively dependent. We also prove that if the hazard rate of the conditional distribution of Y given X=x is decreasing in x and y, then the concomitants have DFR (decreasing failure rate) distributions and are ordered according to dispersive ordering. 相似文献

We present a stochastic algorithm to solve numerically the problem of finding the global minimizers of a real valued function subject to lower and upper bounds. This algorithm looks for the global minimizers following the paths of a suitable system of stochastic differential equations. Numerical experience on several test problems known in literature is shown. 相似文献

A stochastic algorithm is proposed for the global optimization of nonconvex functions subject to linear constraints. Our method follows the trajectory of an appropriately defined Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE). The feasible set is assumed to be comprised of linear equality constraints, and possibly box constraints. Feasibility of the trajectory is achieved by projecting its dynamics onto the set defined by the linear equality constraints. A barrier term is used for the purpose of forcing the trajectory to stay within the box constraints. Using Laplace’s method we give a characterization of a probability measure (Π) that is defined on the set of global minima of the problem. We then study the transition density associated with the projected diffusion process and show that its weak limit is given by Π. Numerical experiments using standard test problems from the literature are reported. Our results suggest that the method is robust and applicable to large-scale problems. 相似文献

For a sample of iid observations {(Xi, Yi)} from an absolutely continuous distribution, the multivariate dependence of concomitants Y[]=(Y[1], Y[2], …, Y[n]) and the stochastic order of subsets of Y[] are studied. If (X, Y) is totally positive dependent of order 2, Y[] is multivariate totally positive dependent of order 2. If the conditional hazard rate function of Y given X, hYX(yx), is decreasing in x for every y, Y[] is multivariate right corner set increasing. And if Y is stochastically increasing in X, the concomitants are increasing in multivariate stochastic order. 相似文献

The existence of a not-necessarily-unique strong solution for a stochastic differential equations with nonlocal sample dependence is established under the assumption that the coefficients satisfy an asymptotically local boundedness condition in addition to continuity. The proof is by an Euler-like construction of approximations. These equations include mean-field stochastic differential equations, but the nonlocal sample dependence can be more general than just the dependence on moments of the solution. 相似文献

准确刻画风格股票的联合分布,特别是它们之间的相依性,对基金公司等机构投资者进行资产配置和风险管理都有重要意义。根据已有文献,风格股票指数的相依性与流动性等来自市场的随机变量有关,那么这种动态相依性也可能是随机的。因此,本文在研究我国风格股指数相依性时,考虑了随机形式的动态相依性。文章在Hafner和Manner(2012)随机Copula模型中加入了换手率解释变量,实证分析我国风格股票指数间的相依结构,并从风险管理的角度讨论了随机相依性的经济意义。研究发现,大盘股和小盘股、成长型和价值型股票间的尾部相依性都表现出随机动态特征。考虑随机相依性的投资策略所得组合风险比Patton(2006)模型对应的投资策略低约0.30%-1.20%。对每天、每周或每月调整投资比例的中短期投资者而言,建议考虑风格指数的随机动态相依性。而且,短期投资者在大、小盘股票上投资时,还可以使用换手率信息预测未来1天两风格指数的相依性,以进一步降低组合风险。 相似文献

We describe global optimization problems from three different fields representing many-body potentials in physical chemistry, optimal control of a chemical reactor, and fitting a statistical model to empirical data. Historical background for each of the problems as well as the practical significance of the first two are given. The problems are solved by using eight recently developed stochastic global optimization algorithms representing controlled random search (4 algorithms), simulated annealing (2 algorithms), and clustering (2 algorithms). The results are discussed, and the importance of global optimization in each respective field is focused. 相似文献
