  1. Order statistics • Distribution of order variables (and extremes) • Joint distribution of order variables (and extremes) Probability theory 2010

  2. Order statistics Let X1, …, Xnbe a (random) sample and set X(k) = the kth smallest ofX1, …, Xn Then the ordered sample (X(1), X(2), …, X(n)) is called the order statistic of (X1, …, Xn) and X(k)the kth order variable Probability theory 2010

  3. Order variables - examples Example 1: Let X1, …, Xnbe U(0,1) random numbers. Find the probability that max(X1, …, Xn) > 1 – 1/n Example 2: Let X1, …, X100 be a simple random sample from a (finite) population with median m. Find the probability that X(40) > m. Probability theory 2010
