Stochastic Orders in Reliability and Risk ― In Honor of Professor Moshe Shaked

Presenting research reported at SORR2011 in Xiamen, China in 2011, this book offers 19 contributions on the theory of stochastic orders, stochastic comparison of order statistics, stochastic orders in reliability and risk analysis and applications.

Haijun Li is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Washington State University, Pullman, WA. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Arizona in 1994. His research interests lie in applied probability and stochastic processes, and his current research focuses on multivariate dependence, extreme value theory and risk analysis.Xiaohu Li holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Lanzhou University, China, where he worked on statistics and probability with applications in reliability and life-testing. Currently, as an applied statistician, his research focuses on multivariate statistical dependence, copula theory and their applications in survival analysis, actuarial science, financial risk management and network security.
