Two Concepts of Positive Dependence, with Applications in Multivariate Analysis.

Abstract
We develop properties and theory for positive orthant dependence, a multivariate extension of Lehmann's positive quadrant dependence, and right tail increasing in sequence dependence, a multivariate extension of Esary and Proschan's bivariate right tail increasing dependence. Applications are then obtained in the form of inequalities and monotonicity in a wide variety of multivariate statistical problems, including MANOVA, contingency tables, dependence measurement, competing risk models, reliability of series systems, and distributions theory.
