Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoments of Order Statistics from Nonidentically Distributed Three Parameters Beta typeI and Erlang Truncated Exponential VariablesA. A. Jamjoom, Z. A. AL-SaiaryProblem statement: Moments of order statistics of independent non-identically distributed (INID) random variables is not an easy subject to deal with for continuous distributions. One is forced to use messy algebraic calculations (whether one uses permanents or not). This was the motivation behind this study.
