The paper considers nonparametric estimation of absolutely continuous distribution functions of lifetimes of non-identical components in k-out-of-n systems from the observed 'autopsy' data. In economics, ascending 'button' or 'clock' auctions with n heterogeneous bidders present 2-out-of-n...

This paper obtains Lorenz ordering relationships among order statistics from log-logistic samples of possibly different sizes. Some results extend other families including the Lomax, Burr III and Burr XII distributions.

This note presents a nonparametric Bayesian approach to fitting a distribution to the survey data provided in Kilian and Zha (2002) regarding the prior for the half-life of deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP). A point mass at infinity is included. The unknown density is represented as...
