The concept of generalized order statistics (GOSs) was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this paper is to investigate condi- tions on the underlying distribution functions and the parameters on which GOSs are based, to establish Shaked-Shanthikumar multivari- ate dispersive ordering of GOSs from one sample and Khaledi-Kochar mu...

In this article, a new censoring scheme is considered, namely, a middle part of a random sample is censored. A treatment for reconstructing the missing order statistics is investigated. The proposed procedure is studied in detail under exponential distribution which is widely used as a constant failure model in reliability. Different approaches are used to obtain point and interval reconstructo...

 In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of order statistics of independent random variables with proportional hazard rates, using the notion of variance majorization.

in this paper, we obtain  bayesian prediction intervals as well as bayes predictive estimatorsunder square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.
