Strong unimodality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
It is proved that a distribution F is strongly unimodal iff any two quantiles of the convolution of F with any other distribution are further apart than the corresponding quantiles of F itself. Some related characterizations of strong unimodality are also given.
