Abstract

The concept of generalized order statistics was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this article is to establish several stochastic comparisons of simple spacings in the mean residual life and the excess wealth orders under the more general assumptions on the parameters of the models.
