McMASTER UNIVERSITY STATISTICS SEMINAR

Week of June 22 - 26, 1998

SPEAKER:	Dr. Nickos Papadatos Department of Mathematics & Statistics, University of Cyprus
TITLE:	"Characterizations of Distributions by Product Moments and Covariances of Order Statistics"
DAY:	Monday, June 22, 1998
TIME:	*** 2:00 p.m. ***
PLACE:	*** BSB-101 ***

SUMMARY

By using Legendre Polynomials, we firstly give a characterization of the hyperbolic sine density, as the distribution which attains maximal covariance for the extremes order statistics from a sample of three. We then try to give a unified approach to this kind of problems by using some results from the theory of linear integral operators.
