Re: Probability of rth order statistic



RAMS said

***You have given the cdf of the kth order stat. To determine the prob that X1 is ranked r, the probability should simply be (n-1)C(k-1) * [F(x)]^(k-1) * [1-F(x)]^(n-k) rather than the sum from k to n because I've to select (k-1) entries from the remaining (n-1) to be lesser than X1 and the remaining MUST be greater than X1. This seems to make the most sense to me. Thanks,***

To me too (my inattentive reading passing over that you are dealing with RANKS, forget me, please).
In my opinion, I am NOT at all an expert in Statistical of Extremes, take advice from learned people in this area, the ranks leads that:
____X´1 < X´2 <…< X´n
(Equality IS NOT possible).

Be successful
