6 p. 4/4 Order Statistics Let X 1,,X n be n independent identically distributed (IID) random variables from a popln. with cumulative distribution function (cdf) F(x) and an absolutely continuous probability density function (pdf) f(x).

7 p. 4/4 Order Statistics Let X 1,,X n be n independent identically distributed (IID) random variables from a popln. with cumulative distribution function (cdf) F(x) and an absolutely continuous probability density function (pdf) f(x). If we arrange these X i s in increasing order of magnitude, we obtain the so-called order statistics, denoted by X 1:n X 2:n X n:n, which are clearly dependent.

8 p. 5/4 Order Statistics (cont.) Using multinomial argument, we readily have for r = 1,,n Pr (x < X r:n x + δx) n! = (r 1)!(n r)! {F(x)}r 1 {F(x + δx) F(x)} {1 F(x + δx)} n r + O ( (δx) 2).

9 p. 5/4 Order Statistics (cont.) Using multinomial argument, we readily have for r = 1,,n Pr (x < X r:n x + δx) n! = (r 1)!(n r)! {F(x)}r 1 {F(x + δx) F(x)} {1 F(x + δx)} n r + O ( (δx) 2). From this, we obtain the pdf of X r:n as (for x R) f r:n (x) = n! (r 1)!(n r)! {F(x)}r 1 {1 F(x)} n r f(x).

10 p. 6/4 Order Statistics (cont.) Similarly, we obtain the joint pdf of (X r:n,x s:n ) as (for 1 r < s n and x < y) f r,s:n (x,y) = n! (r 1)!(s r 1)!(n s)! {F(x)}r 1 f(x) {F(y) F(x)} s r 1 {1 F(y)} n s f(y).

11 p. 6/4 Order Statistics (cont.) Similarly, we obtain the joint pdf of (X r:n,x s:n ) as (for 1 r < s n and x < y) f r,s:n (x,y) = n! (r 1)!(s r 1)!(n s)! {F(x)}r 1 f(x) {F(y) F(x)} s r 1 {1 F(y)} n s f(y). From the pdf and joint pdf, we can derive, for example, means, variances and covariances of order statistics, and also study their dependence structure.

12 p. 6/4 Order Statistics (cont.) Similarly, we obtain the joint pdf of (X r:n,x s:n ) as (for 1 r < s n and x < y) f r,s:n (x,y) = n! (r 1)!(s r 1)!(n s)! {F(x)}r 1 f(x) {F(y) F(x)} s r 1 {1 F(y)} n s f(y). From the pdf and joint pdf, we can derive, for example, means, variances and covariances of order statistics, and also study their dependence structure. The area of order statistics has a long and rich history, and a very vast literature.

28 p. 11/4 Skew-Normal Distribution (cont.) L 2n+1 (λ) = 2n+1 i=1 ( 1) i i ( 2n + 1 i ) L 2n+1 i (λ), λ R, for n = 0, 1, 2,... For n = 0, we simply obtain L 1 (λ) = Φ(λx) φ(x) dx = 1 2 L 0(λ) = 1 2, λ R,

29 p. 11/4 Skew-Normal Distribution (cont.) L 2n+1 (λ) = 2n+1 i=1 ( 1) i i ( 2n + 1 i ) L 2n+1 i (λ), λ R, for n = 0, 1, 2,... For n = 0, we simply obtain L 1 (λ) = Φ(λx) φ(x) dx = 1 2 L 0(λ) = 1 2, λ R, which leads to the skew-normal density ϕ 1 (x;λ) = 2 Φ(λx)φ(x), x R, λ R.

35 p. 13/4 Skew-Normal Distribution (cont.) L 2 (λ) = 1 π tan λ 2, λ R, which leads to another skew-normal density

36 p. 13/4 Skew-Normal Distribution (cont.) L 2 (λ) = 1 π tan λ 2, λ R, which leads to another skew-normal density ϕ 2 (x;λ) = π tan λ 2 {Φ(λx)}2 φ(x), x R,λ R.

37 p. 13/4 Skew-Normal Distribution (cont.) L 2 (λ) = 1 π tan λ 2, λ R, which leads to another skew-normal density ϕ 2 (x;λ) = π tan λ 2 {Φ(λx)}2 φ(x), x R,λ R.

Remark 4: In addition, the integral L n (λ) is also involved in the means of OS from N(0, 1) distribution.

Remark 4: In addition, the integral L n (λ) is also involved in the means of OS from N(0, 1) distribution. For example, with µ m:m denoting the mean of the largest OS in a sample of size m from N(0, 1), we have µ 2:2 = L 0 π, µ 3:3 = 3L 1(1) π, µ 4:4 = 6L 2(1) π, µ 5:5 = 10L 3(1) π.
