It is shown that, in some particular cases, it is equivalent to characterize a continuous distribution by properties of records and by properties of order statistics. As an application, we give a simple proof that if two successive jth record values and associated to an i.i.d. sequence are such that and are independent, then the sequence has to derive from an exponential distribution (in the continuous case). The equivalence breaks up for discrete distributions, for which we give a proof that the only distributions such that Xk, n and Xk+1, n – Xk, n are independent for some k ≧ 2 (where Xk, n is the kth order statistic of X1, ···, Xn) are degenerate.

In this paper, we obtain certain expressions and recurrence relations for two general classes of distributions based on some conditional expectations of k-th lower record values. We consider the necessary and sufficient conditions such that these conditional expectations hold for some distribution functions. Furthermore, an expression of conditional expectation of other general class of distributions through truncated moments of some random variable is considered. Some distributions as examples of these general classes are shown in Tables1and2accordingly.
