Abstract

Let be the order statistics of a sample of size n≥ 2 from a population with continuous distribution function F. In this paper, we obtain the distribution function F from conditional expectation or . where h is a real, continuous and strictly monotonic function. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions so that any real function ξ(x) is equal to or is equal to . Different continuous distributions are also characterized using our results.
