Monotone Likelihood Ratio - Relation To Other Statistical Properties

Relation To Other Statistical Properties

If a family of distributions has the monotone likelihood ratio property in ,

  1. the family has monotone decreasing hazard rates in (but not necessarily in )
  2. 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.

    “The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents. Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti-serious. More precisely, Camp involves a new, more complex relation to “the serious.” One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
