Abstract:
It is shown that a recently introduced lower cone distribution function,
together with the set-valued multivariate quantile, generates a Galois
connection between a complete lattice of closed convex sets and the interval
$[0,1]$. This generalizes the corresponding univariate result. It is also shown
that an extension of the lower cone distribution function and the set-valued
quantile characterize the capacity functional of a random set extension of the
original multivariate variable along with its distribution.
Keywords:Galois connection, multivariate quantile, complete lattice, lower cone distribution function, random set.
