Stochastic orderings of multivariate elliptical distributions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 June 2021
Abstract
For two n-dimensional elliptical random vectors X and Y, we establish an identity for $\mathbb{E}[f({\bf Y})]- \mathbb{E}[f({\bf X})]$, where $f\,{:}\, \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfies some regularity conditions. Using this identity we provide a unified method to derive sufficient and necessary conditions for classifying multivariate elliptical random vectors according to several main integral stochastic orders. As a consequence we obtain new inequalities by applying the method to multivariate elliptical distributions. The results generalize the corresponding ones for multivariate normal random vectors in the literature.
