NONPARAMETRIC TESTS OF DENSITY RATIO ORDERING
密度比序的非参数检验
We study a family of nonparametric tests of density ratio ordering between two continuous probability distributions on the real line. Density ratio ordering is satisfied when the two distributions admit a nonincreasing density ratio. Equivalently, density ratio ordering is satisfied when the ordinal dominance curve associated with the two distributions is concave. To test this property, we consider statistics based on the L p -distance between an empirical ordinal dominance…
