Abstract

The concept of generalized order statistics was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this article is to investigate the conditions on the parameters that enable one to establish several stochastic comparisons of general p-spacings for a subclass of generalized order statistics in the likelihood ratio and the hazard rate orders. Preservation properties of the logconvexity and logconcavity of p-spacings are also given.
