Isotonic Approximation.
Abstract
The report is a survey of recent work in the field of isotonic regression from a slightly different point of view. The authors call the problem, Minimize //g - f// Subject to f belongs to K, where K is the cone os isotonic or order preserving functions, the isotonic approximation. For the L sub 2 norm, this is the isotonic regression problem. The authors consider norms more general than the L sub 2 norm and characterize their solution. The duality theory is also presented. Applications to problems of failure rate estimation are discussed. (Author)
