stochdom_Ab {multinomineq}

Ab-Representation for Stochastic Dominance of Histogram Bins

Description

Provides the necessary linear equality constraints to test stochastic dominance of continuous distributions, that is, whether the cumulative density functions F satisfy the constraint F_1(t) < F_2(t) for all t.

Usage

stochdom_Ab(bins, conditions = 2, order = "<")

Arguments

bins

number of bins of histogram

conditions

number of conditions

order

order constraint on the random variables across conditions. The default order="<" implies that the random variables increase across conditions (implying that the cdfs decrease: F_1(t) > F_2(t)).
