PREFACE
     The Symposium on Inequalities in Statistics and Probability was held at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln during October 27-30, 1982. It was sponsored by the National
Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln. The organizer of the Symposium was Y. L. Tong, and the Advisory Board
consisted of Ingram Olkin, Michael D. Perlman, Frank Proschan, and C. R. Rao. The
general study of inequalities has experienced a remarkable growth during the past
decade, and is currently expanding at an even faster rate. In view of this growth, the
purpose of the Symposium was to provide an opportunity for research workers in inequalities-
related areas to meet together, to exchange and share ideas, and to present their
latest developments.
     There were 15 sessions consisting of 28 invited papers and 7 contributed papers. The
topics of the sessions were: (a) Matrix Related Inequalities, (b) Multivariate Majorization
and Dilations, (c) Stochastic Optimization and Rearrangement Inequalities, (d)
Probabilities of Geometric Regions, (e) Moment and Markov Inequalities, (f) Perspectives
on Inequalities and Entropy Functions, (g) Association and FKG Inequalities, (h)
Inequalities for Selecting and Ordering Populations, (i) Trends and Order Restrictions,
(j) Inequalities in Multivariate Analysis (two sessions), (k) Convex and Stochastic Orderings,
(1) Inequalities in Reliability, (m) Contributed Papers (two sessions). In addition
there was a general problem session. More than 70 research workers attended and
participated in the conference.
     Almost all of the papers included in this volume were presented at the conference. The
contents of a few papers differ slightly from the conference presentations due to arrangements
already made for prior publications. The original Symposium program can be
found at the end of this volume.
