Generalized order statistics provide a unifying framework that extends beyond conventional order statistics by encompassing record values, sequential order statistics, and other related types of ...

The study of stochastic comparisons and order statistics forms an integral part of probability theory and statistical modelling. At its core, stochastic comparison provides a rigorous framework for ...

Given a random sample from a Pareto type distribution with the cdf $F(x) = 1 - \lbrack1 + (x - \alpha)/\beta\rbrack^{-\gamma}$ for x ≥ α, the problems of ...

This paper presents a sufficient condition for second order efficiency of an estimator. The condition is easily checked in the case of minimum contrast estimators. The α *-minimum contrast estimator ...
