We consider four orthant stochastic orderings between random vectors X and Y that have finitely discrete probability distributions in IRk. For each of the orderings conditions have been developed that are necessary and sufficient for dominance of Y over X. We present an algorithm that checks...

Eine breit gefächerte Einführung in die deskriptive sowie, nach Bereitstellung der notwendigen Begriffe aus der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, in einige Verfahren der schliessenden Statistik, nahezu ohne mathematische Beweisführungen. Rezension: Zielgruppe sind hier alle empirischen...

A new procedure, called DD-procedure, is developed to solve the problem of classifying d-dimensional objects into q Ï 2 classes. The procedure is completely nonparametric; it uses q-dimensional depth plots and a very efficient algorithm for discrimination analysis in the depth space [0, 1]q ....
