Two new concepts of order statistics for multivariate samples are introduced. In one of the versions it turns out that not every multivariate order statistic is present in every sample. These order statistics have application in multivariate ranked set sampling and can be used to generate broad...

In this paper we show how discrete and continuous variables can be combined using parametric conditional families of distributions and how the likelihood weighting method can be used for propagating uncertainty through the network in an efficient manner. To illustrate the method we use, as an...
