Abstract In this paper we consider general class of distribution. Recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments and conditional quotient moments of lower generalized order statistics for a general class of distribution are derived. Further the results are deduced for quotient moments of order statistics and lower records and characterization of this distribution by considering the recurrence relation of conditional expectation for general class of distribution satisfied by the quotient moment of the lower generalized order statistics.

The article presents an extension of the Gompertz Makeham distribution using the Weibull-G family of continuous probability distributions proposed by Tahir et al. (2016a). This new extension generates a more flexible model called Weibull-Gompertz Makeham distribution. Some statistical properties of the distribution which include the moments, survival function, hazard function and distribution of order statistics were derived and discussed. The parameters were estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and the distribution was applied to a bladder cancer data. Weibull-Gompertz Makeham distribution performed best (AIC = -6.8677, CAIC = -6.3759, BIC = 7.3924) when compared with other existing distributions of the same family to model bladder cancer data.

The constancy of the conditional expectation of some appropriate functions of order statistics on some others, is used to characterize the geometric distribution among the discrete distributions.
