Abstract:

Let X(1),X(2),.. X(n) be n independent and identically distributed random variables. Consider M(n) = Max{X(1),X(2),...,X(n)}. It is knowm that that there exists only three limiting ( as n tends to infinity) distributions for the suitably centered and normalized M(n). These three distributions are members of generalized extreme value (gev)distribution. In this talk some distributional properties of the record values from gev will be given. Based on these distributional properties several characterizations of these three distributions will be presented.
