Publisher's Synopsis
This book collects in one place our results for ordered random variables scattered in many papers, published in different journals and volumes, some of which are not easily available. It gives an exposition of such topics as induced order statistics and order statistics based on sums of random variables, which are now ready for a systematic presentation in book form. Furthermore, the authors aim to locate all ordered random variables under a common roof and to compare results and methods for different types of orderings.
