Order Statistic Distribution and Moments

Usage

bd_order_stat_cdf(t, i, n, a, b, c, k)

bd_order_stat_moments(r, i, n, a, b, c, k, rel.tol = 1e-10)

Arguments

t

Vector of times, for `bd_order_stat_cdf`.

i

Index of the order statistic, from 1 to `n`.

n

Sample size.

a

Shape parameter (beta generator).

b

Shape parameter governing the tail.

c

Shape parameter (baseline).

k

Scale parameter (baseline).

r

Order of the moment, for `bd_order_stat_moments`.

rel.tol

Passed to [stats::integrate()].

Value

`bd_order_stat_cdf` returns a vector the length of `t`; `bd_order_stat_moments` returns a single number.

Details

\(F_{i:n}(t) = I_{F(t)}(i, n - i + 1)\), and moments are taken against the order-statistic density on the Beta scale. The \(i\)-th order statistic of a sample of size \(n\) has a finite \(r\)-th moment when \(b(n - i + 1) > r\), so extremes need heavier restrictions than the parent distribution, and the maximum needs \(b > r\) exactly as the parent does.
