Subject: OT Statistical question
Does anyone know the meaning of the terms "minorant" and "majorant"?
context:
"Consider the n(n-1)/2 possible modal intervals and compute for each
(xi, xj) the greatest convex minorant of the empirical distribution
function Fn in (-infinity, xi) and the least concave majorant of Fn in
(xj, infinity)"
Thanks in advance
Peter
