MMR 2015 - Tokyo (The Ninth International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability)

Moshe Shaked (1945-2014) was a world leader in stochastic orders and distribution theory. His book on stochastic orders, coauthored with George Shanthikumar, has been very influential for people who study and use comparison methods in their research and teaching in probability, statistics, operation research, management science, economics, risk analysis, and various other fields. This session pays tribute to Moshe Shaked as a scholar, a mentor and a great friend. 

1. Moshe Shaked’s work and contributions in distribution theory (Haijun Li, Washington State University).
2. Moshe Shaked and game theory (Marco Scarsini, Marco Scarsini, LUISS Guido Carli)
3. Between first and second-order stochastic dominance (Alfred Muller, Universität Siegen)

In addition, several short speeches given by 

1. Nozer D. Singurwalla, George Washington University
2. Franco Pellerey, Politecnico di Torino
3. Ushio Sumita, University of Tsukuba
4. Maochao Xu, Illinois State University

This session is scheduled in the afternoon of June 2, 2015.
