Abstract
Two families of probability distributions are characterized through the conditional expectations of dual generalized order statistics (dgos) and spacing of two dgos conditioned on a non-adjacent dual generalized order statistics. Further, some of its deductions are also discussed.
Keywords: Characterization, Conditional expectation, Dual generalized order statistics, Probability distributions.
1. Introduction
The concept of generalized order statistics (gos) has been introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables with different interpretation (Kamps, 1995), such as ordinary order statistics, sequential order statistics, progressive type II censoring, record values and Pfeifer’s records. Generalized order statistics serve as a common approach to a structural similarities and analogies. Several of these models can be effectively applied, e.g., in reliability theory. Using this concept of gos, Burkschatet al. (2003) introduced the concept of dual generalized order statistics (dgos) that enables a common approach to descending ordered random variables like reverse ordered order statistics, lower record values etc.
Let X1,X2,,Xn be a sequence of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variable with absolutely continuous distribution function (df) F(x) and the probability density function (pdf) f (x), x(,). Further, let nN , n2, k 1,

If m0, k 1, then X(r,n,m,k) reduces toXnr1:n, the (nr1)thorder statistics, from a sample of size n and when m1, then X(r,n,m,k) reduces to the rth k lower record value (Pawlas and Szynal, 2001). A number of results on characterization of distributions of dual generalized order statistics are available in the literature. For a detailed survey one may refer to Ahsanullah (2004), Mbah and Ahsanullah (2007), Khan et al. (2009) and Khan et al. (2010) and references contained therein. In this paper, two general classes of distributions

have been characterized through conditional expectation of function of dgos,where
c b
a, , and h(x) are so chosen that F(x)in (1.10) and (1.11) are df .
It may be noted that the df F(x) and thepdf f(x) in (1.10) and (1.11) are related respectively as

Khan et al. (2010) have characterized the general class of distributions through conditional expectation of dgos conditioned on non-adjacent dgos.We have extended the result of Khan et al. (2010) for the difference of the conditional expectations conditioned on non-adjacentdgos, its particular cases for order statistics, lower record statistics as obtained by Khanet al.(2011) and Faizan and Khan (2011) are discussed.
