In this paper, we introduce precedence-type tests for testing the hypothesis that two distribution functions are equal, which is an extension of the precedence life-test rst proposed by Nelson (1963), when the two samples are progressively Type-II censored. The null distributions of the test...

In this paper some recurrence relations between the moments of record values from the Gumbel distribution are established. It is shown that using these recurrence relations, all the single and product moments of all record values can be obtained in a very simple recursive process.

In this note, we discuss the record values arising from a normal N([mu], [delta]2) distribution. After computing the means, variances and covariances of the record values, we determine the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) of [mu] and [delta] based on the first n record values. Using these...
