LetXn1≦Xn2≦ ··· ≦Xnndenote the order statistics from a sample ofnindependent, identically distributed random variables, and suppose that the variablesXnn, Xn,n–1, ···, when suitably normalized, have a non-trivial limiting joint distributionξ1,ξ2, ···, asn → ∞. It is well known that the limiting distribution must be one of just three types. We provide a canonical representation of the stochastic process {ξn,n≧ 1} in terms of exponential variables, and use this representation to obtain limit theorems forξnasn →∞.
