Spacings around and order statistic
Nagaraja, H. N.; Bharath, Karthik; Zhang, Fangyuan
Abstract
We determine the joint limiting distribution of adjacent spacings around a central, intermediate, or an extreme order statistic Xk:n of a random sample of size n from a continuous distribution F. For central and intermediate cases, normalized spacings in the left and right neighborhoods are asymptotically i.i.d. exponential random variables. The associated independent Poisson arrival processes are independent of Xk:n. For an extreme Xk:n, the asymptotic independence property of spacings fails for F in the domain of attraction of Fréchet and Weibull (α≠1) distributions. This work also provides additional insight into the limiting distribution for the number of observations around Xk:n for all three cases.
