A Note on the Covariance Matrix of Order Statistics of Standard normal Observations

  • Published : 2000.04.01

Abstract

We noted a property of a stationary distribution on the matrix C, which is the covariance matrix of order statistics of standard normal distribution That is the sup norm of th powers of C is ee' divided by its dimension. The matrix C can be taken as a transition probability matrix in an acyclic Markov chain.
