Relationships among moments of order statistics in samples from two related outlier models and some applications

Balakrishnan (1987a) has recently shown that the moments of order statistics in samples drawn from a continuous population with pdf f(x) symmetric about zero comprising a single outlier with pdf g(x) also symmetric about zero can be expressed in terms of the moments of order statistics in samples drawn from the population obtained by folding the pdf f(x) at zero and the moments of order statistics in samples drawn from the population obtained …
