We show that randomly stopped partial sums of nonnegative i.i.d. sequences with a geometric stopping variable, inherit some nonparametric class properties defined via the Laplace ordering and that the corresponding converses also hold. Our findings extend earlier results in this direction...

Closure results in class proved recently for geometric compounds are generalized to general compound distributions. The results obtained provide a new characterization of the geometric distribution. Some characterizing properties of the class and class of life distributions are also discussed in...

Let {Xn, n [greater-or-equal, slanted] 1} be a sequence of independent random variables and Mn = max1 [less-than-or-equals, slant] k [less-than-or-equals, slant] n Xk, n [greater-or-equal, slanted] 1. Define for n [greater-or-equal, slanted] 1, Yn(t) = Gn-1(X1) if 0 t 1/n, = Gn-1(M[n]) if 1/n...

Recently, researchers have focused their attention on [[EQUATION]] ferromagnetism in semiconducting oxide materials incorporated with non-magnetic elements because of their plausible application in spintronic devices. The present work emphases on the structural, micro-structural, elemental,...
