Due to the importance of generalized order statistics (GOS) in many branches of Statistics, a wide interest has been shown in investigating stochastic comparisons of GOS. In this article, we study the likelihood ratio ordering of $p$ -spacings of GOS, establishing some flexible and applicable results. We also settle certain unresolved related problems by providing some useful lemmas. Since we do not impose restrictions on the model parameters (as previous studies did), our findings yield new results for comparison of various useful models of ordered random variables including order statistics, sequential order statistics, $k$ -record values, Pfeifer's record values, and progressive Type-II censored order statistics with arbitrary censoring plans. Some results on preservation of logconvexity properties among spacings are provided as well.

In this article we investigate less restrictive conditions on the model parameters that enable one to establish the likelihood ratio ordering of one generalized order statistic by conditioning on the right tail of another lower-indexed generalized order statistic. One application of the main results is also presented.

In this article, we give several results on (multivariate and univariate) stochastic comparisons of generalized order statistics. We give conditions on the underlying distributions and the parameters on which the generalized order statistics are based, to obtain stochastic comparisons in the stochastic, dispersive, hazard rate, and likelihood ratio orders. Our results generalize some recent results for order statistics, record values, and generalized order statistics and provide some new results for other models such ask-record values and order statistics under multivariate imperfect repair.

In this article, we establish stochastic comparisons between normalized spacings of generalized order statistics. These comparisons allow us to extend and unify some results obtained by other authors for ordinary order statistics and record values. Furthermore, we can compare spacings of different models (i.e., between ordinary order statistics and sequential order statistics, record values and Pfeifer's record values, and so forth).

The concept of generalized order statistics was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this article is to investigate conditions on the distributions and the parameters on which the generalized order statistics are based to establish the likelihood ratio ordering of general p-spacings and the hazard rate and the dispersive orderings of (normalizing) simple spacings from two samples. We thus strengthen and complement some results in Franco, Ruiz, and Ruiz [7] and Belzunce, Mercader, and Ruiz [5]. This article is a continuation of Hu and Zhuang [10].

In this article we investigate less restrictive conditions on the model parameters and the underlying distribution function upon which the generalized order statistics are based, which enable one to establish the likelihood ratio and the hazard ratio orderings for p-spacings of generalized order statistic. Some previous works in the literature are extended.

The concept of generalized order statistics was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this article is to investigate the conditions on the parameters that enable one to establish several stochastic comparisons of general p-spacings for a subclass of generalized order statistics in the likelihood ratio and the hazard rate orders. Preservation properties of the logconvexity and logconcavity of p-spacings are also given.

In this article, we establish some results concerning the univariate and multivariate likelihood ratio order of generalized order statistics and the special case of m-generalized order statistics and their associated conditional variables. These results, in addition to being new, also generalizes some of the known results in the literature. Finally, some applications of all these results are indicated.

This article accentuates the estimation of a two-parameter generalized Topp-Leone distribution using dual generalized order statistics (dgos). In the part of estimation, we obtain maximum likelihood (ML) estimates and approximate confidence intervals of the model parameters using dgos, in particular, based on order statistics and lower record values. The Bayes estimate is derived with respect to a squared error loss function using gamma priors. The highest posterior density credible interval is computed based on the MH algorithm. Furthermore, the explicit expressions for single and product moments of dgos from this distribution are also derived. Based on order statistics and lower records, a simulation study is carried out to check the efficiency of these estimators. Two real life data sets, one is for order statistics and another is for lower record values have been analyzed to demonstrate how the proposed methods may work in practice.

In this paper, we study the concomitants of dual generalized order statistics (and consequently generalized order statistics) when the parameters γ1,⋯,γn are assumed to be pairwise different from Huang–Kotz Farlie–Gumble–Morgenstern bivariate distribution. Some useful recurrence relations between single and product moments of concomitants are obtained. Moreover, Shannon’s entropy and the Fisher information number measures are derived. Finally, these measures are extensively studied for some well-known distributions such as exponential, Pareto and power distributions. The main motivation of the study of the concomitants of generalized order statistics (as an important practical kind to order the bivariate data) under this general framework is to enable researchers in different fields of statistics to use some of the important models contained in these generalized order statistics only under this general framework. These extended models are frequently used in the reliability theory, such as the progressive type-II censored order statistics.
