Abstract:

We introduce a comprehensive method for establishing stochastic orders among order statistics in the i.i.d. case. This approach relies on the assumption that the underlying distribution is linked to a reference distribution through a transform order. Notably, this method exhibits broad applicability, particularly since several well-known nonparametric distribution families can be defined using relevant transform orders, including the convex and the star transform orders. In the context of convex-ordered families, we demonstrate that applying Jensen's inequality enables the derivation of bounds for the probability that a random variable exceeds the expected value of its corresponding order statistic.
