Records from are analyzed, where {Yj} is an independent sequence of random variables. Each Yj has a continuous distribution function Fj = Fλj for some distribution F and some λ j > 0. We study records, record times and related quantities for this sequence. Depending on the sequence of powers , a wide spectrum of behaviour is exhibited.

Let X 1, X 2, X 3,··· be independent, identically distributed random variables with a continuous distribution function and let the sequence of indices {Vr } be defined as follows: and for r ≧ 1, V r is the trial on which the rth (upper) record observation occurs. {V r} will be an infinite sequence of random variables since the underlying distribution function of the X's is continuous. It is well known that the expected value of V r. is infinite for every r (see, for example, Feller [1], page 15). Also define and for r > 1 δr is the number of trials between the (r - l)th and the rth record. The distributions of the random variables Vr and δ r do not depend on the distribution of the original random variables. It can be shown (see Neuts [2], page 206 or Tata 1[4], page 26) that The following theorem is due to Neuts [2].

AbstractIn a sequence of independent positive random variables with the same continuous distribution function a monotonic subsequence of record values is chosen. A corresponding sequence of record times divides the initial sequence into interrecord intervals. Let

Let X 1, X 2, …, X n be a sequence of independent, identically distributed positive integer random variables with distribution function F. Anderson (1970) proved a variant of the law of large numbers by showing that the sample maximum moves asymptotically on two values if and only if F satisfies a ‘clustering’ condition, In this article, we generalize Anderson's result and show that it is robust by proving that, for any r ≥ 0, the sample maximum and other extremes asymptotically cluster on r + 2 values if and only if Together with previous work which considered other asymptotic properties of these sample extremes, a more detailed asymptotic clustering structure for discrete order statistics is presented.

Let X 1,X 2,… be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with some continuous distribution function F. Let L(n) and X(n) denote the nth record time and the nth record value, respectively. We refer to the variables X i as near-nth-record observations if X i ∈(X(n)-a,X(n)], with a>0, and L(n)<i<L(n+1). In this work we study asymptotic properties of the number of near-record observations. We also discuss sums of near-record observations.
