Abstract

In this paper, a novel cumulative distribution function (c:d:f:) for beta-pareto (BP) distribution, through two distinct practical frames, is developed. However, the presented models are obviously more pragmatic than the ones being demonstrated in previous works, in the case of extending the further relations.

Then, using the exhibited c.d.f.s, certain recurrence relations for the single and product moments of the order statistics of a random sample of size n arising from beta-Pareto distribution are derived.
