A parametric family of distributions is a collection of distributions with a known form that is indexed by a set of quantities called parameters. Methods based on parametric distributions of normal, ...

Let X1, n ≤ ... ≤ Xn,n, be the order statistics of a sample of size n from a distribution function F. Desu (1971) showed that if for all n ≥ 2, nX1,n is identically distributed as X1,1, then F is the ...

In cases where the utility function is increasing with upper and lower bounds then the utility function can be characterized by a distribution function, and we can take advantage of the various ...
