“…, X n , then the sample minimum and sample maximum correspond to the smallest and the largest order statistics X 1:n and X n:n respectively. The results of stochastic comparisons of the order statistics (largely on the smallest and the largest order statistics) can be seen in Dykstra et al (1997), Fang and Balakrishnan (2018), Fang and Zhang (2015), Zhao and Balakrishnan (2011), Torrado and Kochar (2015), Balakrishnan et al (2014), Li and Li (2015), , Chowdhury (2016, 2018), Chowdhury and Kundu (2017) and the references there in for a variety of parametric models. The assumption in the papers lies in the fact that each of the order statistics X 1:n , X 2:n , .…”
