Abstract

The joint cumulative distribution function for order statistics arising from several different populations is given in terms of the distribution functions of the populations. The computational cost of our formula in the case of two populations is still exponential in the worst case, but it is a dramatic improvement compared to the general formula by Bapat and Beg. In the case when only the joint distribution function of a subset of the order statistics of fixed size is needed, the complexity is polynomial, for the case of two populations.
