Simple and unified proof of the joint or marginal density function of order statistics

摘要

The joint or marginal distribution of order statistics is complicated in general, but it has a unified formula for continuous random samples. For simplicity, almost all statistical textbooks and monographs only introduce and prove some of its special forms. Thus, we give a unified proof of the general form, which is much simpler than existing proofs in statistical literature.
