Table I.

Example of possible violation of first-order stochastic dominance with eRUM

Health State A (Dominant) Health State B (Dominated)

Observation x-values y-values x-values y-values
1 10 10 10 9.75
2 10 9 10 8.75
3 10 8 10 7.75
4 9 −1 6 −4

eRUM estimator: 0.685 0.709

x-values = no. years spent in the health state y-values = no. years spent in perfect health
