Abstract #304199

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

Abstract:	We consider the problem of computing the probability that a fully-specified collection of independent random variables has a particular ordering. We derive an equal conditionals condition under which such probabilities can be computed exactly, and we also derive extrapolation algorithms that allow approximation and computation of such probabilities in more general settings. Romberg integration is one idea that is used. We describe applications of these algorithms to inference problems in order statistics and nonparametrics.
