Best upper quantile evaluations for NWU distributions

Abstract

We present optimal upper mean-variance evaluations of quantiles in classes of distributions succeeding a fixed one in the superadditive order. In particular, we provide explicit bounds for the NWU family and show that these are attained by geometric distributions.
