Relation To Other Statistical Properties
If a family of distributions has the monotone likelihood ratio property in ,
- the family has monotone decreasing hazard rates in (but not necessarily in )
- the family exhibits the first-order (and hence second-order) stochastic dominance in, and the best Bayesian update of is increasing in .
But not conversely: neither monotone hazard rates nor stochastic dominance imply the MLRP.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or properties:
“The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to one another. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
