Let X1,..., Xn be independent exponential random variables with possibly different scale parameters. Kochar and Korwar [J. Multivar. Anal. 57 (1996)] conjectured that, in this case, the successive normalized spacings are increasing according to hazard rate ordering. In this article, we prove this conjecture in the case of a single-outlier exponential model when all except one of the parameters are identical. We also prove that the spacings are more dispersed and larger in the sense of hazard rate ordering when the vector of scale parameters is more dispersed in the sense of majorization.

Reconstructability analysis (RA) decomposes wholes, namely data in the form either of set-theoretic relations or multivariate probability distributions, into parts, namely relations or distributions involving subsets of variables. Data is modeled and compressed by variablebased decomposition, by more general state-based decomposition, or by the use of latent variables. Models, which specify the interdependencies among the variables, are selected to minimize error and complexity.

Let Y=(X,{Ri}1≤i≤D) denote a symmetric association scheme, and assume that Y is Q-polynomial with respect to an ordering E0,...,ED of the primitive idempotents. Bannai and Ito conjectured that the associated sequence of multiplicities mi (0≤i≤D) of Yis unimodal. Talking to Terwilliger, Stanton made the related conjecture that mi≤mi+1 and mi≤mD−i for i<D/2. We prove that if Y is dual-thin in the sense of Terwilliger, then the …
