The power generalized Weibull distribution due to Bagdonovacius and Nikulin (2002) is an alternative,and always provides better fits than the exponentiated Weibull family for modeling lifetime data. In this paper, we consider the generalized order statistics (GOS) from this distribution. We obtain exact explicit expressions as well as recurrence relations for the single, product and conditional moments of generalized order statistics from the power generalized Weibull distribution and then we use these results to compute the means and variances of order statistics and record values for samples of different sizes for various values of the shape and scale parameters.

This article addresses the various mathematical and statistical properties of the Burr type XII distribution (such as quantiles, moments, moment generating function, hazard rate, conditional moments, mean residual lifetime, mean past lifetime, mean deviation about mean and median, stochasic ordering, stress-strength parameter, various entropies, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and order statistics) are derived. We discuss some exact expressions and recurrence relations for the single and product moments of upper record values. Further, using relations of single moments, we have tabulated the means and variances of upper record values from samples of sizes up to 10 for various values of the α and β. Finally a characterization of this distribution based on conditional moments of record values and recurrence relation of kth record values is presented.

Abstract: In this small note we have established some new explicit expressions for ratio and inverse moments of lower generalized order statistics for the Marshall-Olkin extended Burr type XII distribution. These explicit expressions can be used to develop the relationship for moments of ordinary order statistics, record statistics and other ordered random variable techniques. Further, a characterization result of this distribution has been considered on using the conditional moment of the lower generalized order statistics.
