Limit theory of bivariate generalized order statistics with random sample size (Q722602)

In this manuscript the authors characterize the limit distribution functions of three types of \(m\) generalized order statistics: bivariate extreme, central and intermediate. The \(m\) generalized order statistics are considered on a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables with a random sample size. Depending on the connection between the random sample size and considered basic variables, two cases are discussed: when these random variables are independent and when dependence between them exists. In the first case, the authors derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the weak convergence, while the sufficient condition is derived for the second case.
