dc.description.abstract | Let X1,X2,...,Xn be a sample of arbitrary, possibly dependent, random variables, with possibly different marginal distributions, and denote by X1:n≤X2:n≤≤Xn:n the corresponding order statistics. Using the notation μi=EXi and σi 2=VarXi, i=1,2,...,n (assumed finite), it is proved that for any real constants λ1,λ2,...,λ n,∑i=1nλi(EX i:n-μ̄)≤∑i=1n(ci-λ̄) 21/2∑i=1n((μi-μ̄) 2+σi 2)-nVarX̄1/2,where μ̄=n-1∑i=1 nμi, λ̄=n-1∑i=1 nλ i, X̄=n-1∑i=1nXi and (c1,c2,...,cn)′ is the l2-projection of the vector (λ1,λ2,...,λn)′ onto the convex cone of componentwise nondecreasing vectors in Rn (in particular, ci=λi for all i if and only if λi is nondecreasing in i). A similar lower bound is also given. The bound is sharp when the X's are exchangeable | en |
