Abstract

We introduce approaches to performing Bayesian nonparametric statistical inference for distribution functions exhibiting a stochastic ordering. We consider Polya tree prior distributions, and Bernstein polynomial prior distributions, and each prior provides an appealing and simple way of introducing the stochastic order.
