Conditional independence of
blocked ordered data
G. Iliopoulos and N. Balakrishnan
In
this paper, we prove that blocks of ordered data formed by some conditioning
events are mutually independent. We establish
this result by considering the usual order statistics, progressively censored
order statistics, and concomitants of order statistics.
Key words and phrases: Conditional
independence; order statistics; progressively censored order statistics; concomitants
of order statistics.
