      Bounds on expectation of order statistics from a finite population 

      Balakrishnan, N.; Charalambides, Charalambos A.; Papadatos, Nickos (2003)
      Consider a simple random sample X1,X2,...,Xn, taken without replacement from a finite ordered population ∏ = {x1 ≤ x2 ≤ ⋯ ≤ XN} (n ≤ N), where each element of ∏ has equal probability to be chosen in the sample. Let X1:n ≤ ...

      The use of spacings in the estimation of a scale parameter 

      Balakrishnan, N.; Papadatos, Nickos (2002)
      Linear functions on spacings-instead of linear functions on order statistics-are considered, in order to simplify the form of best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) and best linear invariant estimators (BLIEs) for the ...
