Let S 1 and S 2 be two signals of a random variable X, where G 1(s 1 ∣ x) and G 2(s 2 ∣ x) are their conditional distributions given X = x. If, for all s 1 and s 2, G 1(s 1 ∣ x) - G 2(s 2 ∣ x) changes sign at most once from negative to positive as x increases, then the conditional expectation of X given S 1 is greater than the conditional expectation of X given S 2 in the convex order, provided that both conditional expectations are increasing. The stochastic order of the sufficient condition is equivalent to the more stochastically increasing order when S 1 and S 2 have the same marginal distribution and, when S 1 and S 2 are sums of X and independent noises, it is equivalent to the dispersive order of the noises.

In this paper we further investigate the problem considered by Mizuno (2006) in the special case of identically distributed signals. Specifically, we first propose an alternative sufficient condition of crossing type for the convex order to hold between the conditional expectations given signal. Then, we prove that the bivariate (2,1)-increasing convex order ensures that the conditional expectations are ordered in the convex sense. Finally, the L2 distance between the quantity of interest and its conditional expectation given signal (or expected conditional variance) is shown to decrease when the strength of the dependence increases (as measured by the (2,1)-increasing convex order).

In this paper we study the dependence of the vector valued conditional expectation (for both single valued and set valued random variables), on the σ–field and random variable that determine it. So we prove that it is continuous for theL1(X)convergence of the sub–σ–fields and of the random variables. We also present a sufficient condition for theL1(X)–convergence of the sub–σ–fields. Then we extend the work to the set valued conditional expectation using the Kuratowski–Mosco (K–M) convergence and the convergence in the Δ–metric. We also prove a property of the set valued conditional expectation.

In this paper, we obtain certain expressions and recurrence relations for two general classes of distributions based on some conditional expectations of k-th lower record values. We consider the necessary and sufficient conditions such that these conditional expectations hold for some distribution functions. Furthermore, an expression of conditional expectation of other general class of distributions through truncated moments of some random variable is considered. Some distributions as examples of these general classes are shown in Tables1and2accordingly.

We jointly model amount of expenditure for outpatient visits and number of outpatient visits by considering both dependence and simultaneity by proposing a bivariate structural model that describes both variables, specified in terms of their conditional distributions. For that reason, we assume that the conditional expectation of expenditure for outpatient visits with respect to the number of outpatient visits and also, the number of outpatient visits expectation with respect to the expenditure for outpatient visits is related by taking a linear relationship for these conditional expectations. Furthermore, one of the conditional distributions obtained in our study is used to derive Bayesian premiums which take into account both the number of claims and the size of the correspondent claims. Our proposal is illustrated with a numerical example based on data of health care use taken from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), conducted by the U.S. Agency of Health Research and Quality.

In this paper, we discuss statistical families with the property that if the distribution of a random variable X is in , then so is the distribution of Z ∼Bi( X ,  p ) for 0≤ p ≤1. (Here we take Z ∼Bi( X ,  p ) to mean that given X = x ,  Z is a draw from the binomial distribution Bi( x ,  p ).) It is said that the family is closed under binomial subsampling. We characterize such families in terms of probability generating functions and for families with finite moments of all orders we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the family to be closed under binomial subsampling. The results are illustrated with power series and other examples, and related to examples from mathematical biology. Finally, some issues concerning inference are discussed.

AbstractIt is shown that if T is a ternary ring of operators (TRO), X is a nondegenerate sub-TRO of T and there exists a contractive idempotent surjective map P: T → X then P has a unique, explicitly described extension to a conditional expectation between the associated linking algebras. A version of the result for W*-TROs is also presented and some applications mentioned.
