Zusammenfassung:This is Part II of a two-part paper which continues the unification of stochastic comparisons. Many commonly used multivariate densities are shown to be G-ordered and, in fact, each density may be used as the kernel function in the integral transform for the preservation of G-monotonicity. We show that any elliptically-contoured density is G-ordered. An application of G-ordered functions to certain well known tests of a multivariate hypothesis is presented. Sufficient conditions on the distribution of the observations are determined so that the tests have G-monotone increasing power functions. See also Rept. no.
