An identity for the conditional expectations of functions of adjacent order statistics

[[abstract]]An identity for the conditional expectation of the general functions of adjacent order statistics is given, which is valid in a class of conditional probability distributions. Corresponding characterization results are indicated. In addition, we also mention the related results of Kamps and Mattner (1993).[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國外[[booktype]]紙本[[countrycodes]]IN
