This paper deals with nonparametric inference for second order stochastic dominance of two random variables. If their distribution functions are unknown they have to be inferred from observed realizations. Thus, any results on stochastic dominance are influenced by sampling errors. We establish...

This paper is concerned with the problem of deriving expressions for the Bayesian predictive survival functions for the median of future sample of generalized order statistics having odd and even sizes. Both of the informative and future samples are drawn from a population whose distribution is...

How do the world's greatest golfers improve their game? Practice, sure, but Roland Minton says mathematics and statistics are also key to their success. Golf by the Numbers analyzes the mathematical strategies behind the sport, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at how numbers drive the game...
