摘要
Several characterizations of symmetry of a probability distribution are provided. These include the equality in distributions of symmetrically chosen upper and lower order statistics, symmetric spacings of order statistics, and quasi-midranges. Characterizations of symmetry based on the moment properties of order statistics, quasi-midranges and spacings are established. Some characterizations in terms of moments of the underlying distribution are also given.
