  <dc:title>Compute least squares estimates of one bounded or two ordered
isotonic regression curves</dc:title>
  <dc:description>We consider the problem of estimating two isotonic
regression curves g1* and g2* under the constraint that they
are ordered, i.e. g1* &lt;= g2*. Given two sets of n data points
y_1, ..., y_n and z_1, ..., z_n that are observed at (the same)
deterministic design points x_1, ..., x_n, the estimates are
obtained by minimizing the Least Squares criterion L(a, b) =
sum_{i=1}^n (y_i - a_i)^2 w1(x_i) + sum_{i=1}^n (z_i - b_i)^2
w2(x_i) over the class of pairs of vectors (a, b) such that a
and b are isotonic and a_i &lt;= b_i for all i = 1, ..., n. We
offer two different approaches to compute the estimates: a
projected subgradient algorithm where the projection is
calculated using a PAVA as well as Dykstra&apos;s cyclical
projection algorithm.</dc:description>
