On Stochastic Comparisons Of Energy Functions With Applications, Broderick O. Oluyede

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

We develop simple methods for the stochastic comparisons of informational energy functions. We introduce modified informational energy functions and uncertainty of parameter functions are introduced for models with realistic parameter spaces. We present inequalities, comparisons, and applications including test procedures for testing the equality of informational energy functions. Some illustrative examples are also presented.
