Comparison Methods for Stochastic Models and Risks

"...a noteworthy contribution to applied probability, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in applied stochastic modeling." ( Journal of the American Statistical Association , June 2005)
"...will replace the excellent but now slightly dated text by Shaked and Shathikumar (1994) as the standard reference on stochastic orders." (Statistical Papers, Vol.46, No.1, January 2005)

"...provides an up-to-date survey of a notable area..." ( Mathematical Reviews , 2003d)

"...discusses the major concepts related to stochastic orders..." ( SciTech Book News , Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)

"...a very timely and methodically orientated book..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol.999, No.24, 2002)
