Summary

Concepts of positive dependence are reviewed and their applications are indicated. The role of these concepts to produce an ordering in the families of bivariate distributions is discussed. Recent results related to the concept of “association” are shown to have applications in deriving certain inequalities for the multivariate normal and related distributions. Finally a simple example illustrating somewhat unintuitive behavior of a pair of bivariate normal distributions is given.

Research and travel for the institute partially supported by NSF grant.
