This volume provides an up-to-date coverage of the theory and applications of ordered random variables and their functions. Furthermore, it develops the distribution theory of OS systematically. Applications include procedures for the treatment of outliers and other data analysis techniques. Even when chapter and section headings are the same as in OSII, there are appreciable changes, mostly additions, with some obvious deletions. Parts of old Ch. 7, for example, are prime candidates for omission. Appendices are designed to help collate tables, computer algorithms, and software, as well as to compile related monographs on the subject matter. Extensive exercise sets will continue, many of them replaced by newer ones.

This book is designed as a unified and mathematically rigorous treatment of some recent developments of the asymptotic distribution theory of order statistics (including the extreme order statistics) that are relevant for statistical theory and its applications. Particular emphasis is placed on results concern ing the accuracy oflimit theorems, on higher order approximations, and other approximations in quite a general sense. Contrary to the classical limit theorems that primarily concern the weak convergence of distribution functions, our main results will be formulated in terms of the variational and the Hellinger distance. These results will form the proper springboard for the investigation of parametric approximations of nonparametric models of joint distributions of order statistics. The approxi mating models include normal as well as extreme value models. Several applications will show the usefulness of this approach. Other recent developments in statistics like nonparametric curve estima tion and the bootstrap method will be studied as far as order statistics are concerned. 1n connection with this, graphical methods will, to some extent, be explored.

The literature on order statistics and inferenc eis quite extensive and covers a large number of fields ,but most of it is dispersed throughout numerous publications. This volume is the consolidtion of the most important results and places an emphasis on estimation. Both theoretical and computational procedures are presented to meet the needs of researchers, professionals, and students. The methods of estimation discussed are well-illustrated with numerous practical examples from both the physical and life sciences, including sociology,psychology,a nd electrical and chemical engineering. A complete, comprehensive bibliography is included so the book can be used both aas a text and reference.

A lot of probabilists and statisticians, as well as actuarial mathematicians, reliability engineers, meteorologists, hydrologists, economists, business and sport analysts, very often deal with order statistics, which plays an important role in various fields of statistics and its applications. The authors suggest an approach to studying order statistics which proposes an active participation of our reader in the studying process. This book enables a reader to check his/her level of understanding of the theory of order statistics. It gives basic formulae (without proof), which are most important in the theory, and presents a lot of examples, which illustrate the theoretical statements.

In the signal-processing research community, a great deal of progress in higher-order statistics (HOS) began in the mid-1980s. These last fifteen years have witnessed a large number of theoretical developments as well as real applications. Blind Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics focuses on the blind estimation area and records some of the major developments in this field. Blind Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics is a welcome addition to the few books on the subject of HOS and is the first major publication devoted to covering blind estimation using HOS. The book provides the reader with an introduction to HOS and goes on to illustrate its use in blind signal equalisation (which has many applications including (mobile) communications), blind system identification, and blind sources separation (a generic problem in signal processing with many applications including radar, sonar and communications). There is also a chapter devoted to robust cumulant estimation, an important problem where HOS results have been encouraging. Blind Estimation Using Higher-Order Statistics is an invaluable reference for researchers, professionals and graduate students working in signal processing and related areas.

This book presents the theory of order statistics in a way, such that beginners can get easily acquainted with the very basis of the theory without having to work through heavily involved techniques. At the same time more experienced readers can check their level of understanding and polish their knowledge with certain details. This is achieved by, on the one hand, stating the basic formulae and providing many useful examples to illustrate the theoretical statements, while on the other hand an upgraded list of references will make it easier to gain insight into more specialized results. Thus this book is suitable for a readership working in statistics, actuarial mathematics, reliability engineering, meteorology, hydrology, business economics, sports analysis and many more.

Order statistics and record values appear in many statistical applications and are widely used in statistical modeling and inference. Both models describe random variables arranged in order of magnitude. In addition to these well-known models, several other models of ordered random variables, known and new ones, are introduced in this book such as order statistics with non-integral sample size, sequential order statistics, k-th record values, Pfeifer' s record model, k -records from non-identical distributions and ordered random variables which arise from n truncation of distributions. These models can be effectively applied, e.g., in reliability theory. Here, an order statistic represents the life-length of some r-out-of-n-system which is an important technical structure consisting of n components. For this application, a new and more adequate model is naturally suggested. Sequential order statistics serve as a model describing certain dependencies or interactions among the system components caused by failures of components. Record values are closely connected with the occurrence times of some corresponding non-homogeneaus Poisson process and used in so lled shock models. More flexible record models, and therefore more applicable to practical situations, are considered here. The main purpose of this book is to present a concept of generalized order statistics as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. In the distribution theoretical sense, all of the models mentioned above are contained in the proposed model of generalized order statistics.

Bounds on moments of order statistics have been of interest since Sir Francis Galton (1902) flrst addressed the problem of fairly dividing flrst and second prize money in a competition. The present compendium of results represents our effort to sort the plethora of results into some semblance of order. We have tried to assign priority for results appropriately. We will cheerfully accept corrections. Omissions of interesting results have inevitably occurred. On this too we await (cheerful) corrections. We are grateful to Peggy Franklin (University of California), Janet Leach, Domenica Calabria and Patsy Chan (McMaster University) who shared the responsibility of typing the manuscript. The flnal form of the manuscript owes much to their skill and patience. Barry C. Arnold Riverside, California U. S. A. N.
