PARTIALLY MOMENT RELATIONS FOR THE PRODUCT MOMENTS OF ORDER STATISTICS FROM THE STANDARD TWO-SIDED POWER DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

In this work, moment relations for the product moments of order statistics from the standard two-sided power (STSP) distribution are obtained. Since the probability density function (pdf) of the STSP distribution is a piecewise function, we consider the pieces separately and develop certain moment relations based on these pieces. Also, the usefulness of these moment relations in evaluating the product moments of order statistics from the STSP distribution is discussed.
