AbstractIn this study, pf and df of single order statistic of nonidentical discrete random variables are obtained. These functions are also expressed in integral form. Finally, pf and df of extreme of order statistics of random variables for the nonidentical discrete case are given.

For an order statistic (X1:n,…,Xn:n) of a collection of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables, and any i ∈ {1,…,n}, the conditional distribution of (Xi+1:n,…,Xn:n) given Xi:n > s is shown to be stochastically increasing in s. This answers a question by Hu and Xie (2006).

Abstract Let {Xn,k, 1 ≤ k ≤ mn, n ≥ 1} be an array of independent random variables from the Pareto distribution. Let Xn(k) be the kth largest order statistic from the nth row of the array and set Rn,in,jn = Xn(jn)/Xn(in) where jn < in. The aim of this paper is to study the complete convergence of the ratios {Rn,in,jn, n ≥ 1}.

Minimum Path

Let Y, X 1, X 2, …, Xn be a set of n + 1 independently and uniformly distributed random variables on the interval (0, 1). The distribution of the length of the minimum path starting at Y which covers the other n points is derived. The solution is interesting in that it involves finding the distribution of an order statistic of a function of order statistics.

Hazard Rate Ordering

Abstract We show that the kth order statistic from a heterogeneous sample of n ≥ k exponential random variables is larger than that from a homogeneous exponential sample in the sense of star ordering, as conjectured by Xu and Balakrishnan [14]. As a consequence, we establish hazard rate ordering for order statistics between heterogeneous and homogeneous exponential samples, resolving an open problem of Pǎltǎnea [11]. Extensions to general spacings are also presented.

Independent Identically Distributed

We obtain the best possible upper bounds for the moments of a single-order statistic from independent, nonnegative random variables, in terms of the population mean. The main result covers the independent identically distributed case. Furthermore, the case of the sample minimum for merely independent (not necessarily identically distributed) random variables is treated in detail.

AbstractSuppose k balls are dropped into n boxes independently with uniform probability, where n, k are large with ratio approximately equal to some positive real $\lambda$ . The maximum box count has a counterintuitive behavior: first of all, with high probability it takes at most two values $m_n$ or $m_n+1$ , where $m_n$ is roughly $\frac{\ln n}{\ln \ln n}$ . Moreover, it oscillates between these two values with an unusual periodicity. In order to prove this statement and various generalizations, it is first shown that for $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ independent and identically distributed discrete random variables with common distribution F, under mild conditions, the limiting distribution of their maximum oscillates in three possible families, depending on the tail of the distribution. The result stated at the beginning follows from the ensemble equivalence for the order statistics in various allocations problems, obtained via conditioning limit theory. Results about the number of ties for the maximum, as well as applications, are also provided.

For an order statistic (X 1:n ,…,X n:n ) of a collection of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables, and any i ∈ {1,…,n}, the conditional distribution of (X i+1:n ,…,X n:n ) given X i:n &gt; s is shown to be stochastically increasing in s. This answers a question by Hu and Xie (2006).
