摘要
We consider an infinite sequence X-1,X-2,... of independent random variables having a common continuous distribution function F(x). For 1 less than or equal to i less than or equal to n, let {X-i:n} denote the ith order statistic among X-1,...,X-n. In this paper, we characterize the distributions for which the regression E((X-1:n + + X-n:n)/n\X-k:n = x) is a linear function of x. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
