RT journal article T1 Characterization of stochastic orders by L-functionals A1 Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel A1 Ramos, Héctor M. A2 Estadística e Investigación Operativa K1 increasing convex order K1 L-functional K1 location measures AB Random variables may be compared with respect to their location by comparing certain functionals ad hoc, such as the mean or median, or by means of stochastic ordering based directly on the properties of the corresponding distribution functions. These alternative approaches are brought together in this paper. We focus on the class of L-functionals discussed by Bickel and Lehmann (1975) and characterize the comparison of random variables in terms of these measures by means of several stochastic orders based on iterated integrals, including the increasing convex order PB Springer-Verlag SN 0932-5026 YR 2007 FD 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/14986 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/14986 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 22-sep-2026
