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:
“Only in a house where one has learnt to be lonely does one have this solicitude for things. One’s relation to them, the daily seeing or touching, begins to become love, and to lay one open to pain.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“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)
