Abstract

In this article, we establish some results concerning the univariate and multivariate likelihood ratio order of generalized order statistics and the special case of m-generalized order statistics and their associated conditional variables. These results, in addition to being new, also generalizes some of the known results in the literature. Finally, some applications of all these results are indicated.
