In this article, we establish recurrence relations for the single and product moments of order statistics from the power generalized Weibull (PGW) distribution due to Bagdonovacius and Nikulin (2002). These recurrence relations enable computation of the means, variances and covariances of all order statistics for all sample sizes in a simple and efficient manner. By using these relations, we have obtained the means, variances and covariances of order statistics from samples of sizes up to 5 for various values of the shape and scale parameters and present them in figures.

Abstract In this paper we consider general class of distribution. Recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments and conditional quotient moments of lower generalized order statistics for a general class of distribution are derived. Further the results are deduced for quotient moments of order statistics and lower records and characterization of this distribution by considering the recurrence relation of conditional expectation for general class of distribution satisfied by the quotient moment of the lower generalized order statistics.
