Abstract. In this paper probability density function (pdf ) for rth, 1 ≤ r ≤ n and the joint (pdf ) of rth
and sth, 1 ≤ r < s ≤ n, concomitants of generalized order statistics from bivariate Lomax distribution is
obtained. Also single and product moments are derived. Further the results are deduced for moments of
kth upper record values and order statistics. Also their means and product moments are tabulated.
1. Introduction
The Lomax distribution introduced and studied by Lomax (1954). He used this distribution to analyze
business failure data. Lomax distribution has been studied by several authors in literature. Balkema
and de Haan (1974) showed that the (df ) of Lomax distribution arises as a limit distribution of residual
lifetime at great age. According to Arnold (1983), the Lomax distribution is well adapted for modeling
reliability problems. Nayak (1987) used multivariate Lomax distribution in reliability theory. Balakrishnan
and Ahsanullah (1994) derived the relations for single and product moments of record values from Lomax
distribution. The Lomax distribution is also known as the Pareto distribution of second kind.
In this paper, we consider the bivariate Lomax distribution (Sankaran and Nair, 1993) with probability
distribution function (pdf )
and corresponding df
α2 (c + 1)(1 + α1 x)(c+1)
f (y|x) = , y > 0. (2)
(1 + α1 x + α2 y)(c+2)
Keywords. Generalized order statistics, concomitants of generalized order statistics, order statistics, record values, bivariate
Lomax distribution, single and product moments

The concept of generalized order statistics (gos) was given by Kamps (1995). Several authors utilized the
concept of (gos) in their work for detailed survey one may refer to Khan et al. (2006), Ahsanullah and beg
(2006), Anwar et al. (2007), Beg and Ahsanullah (2008), Faizan and Athar (2008), Tavangar and Asadi
(2008), Khan et al. (2009), Tahmasebi and Behboodian (2012), Athar et al. (2012), Athar et al. (2013),
Athar and Nayabuddin (2013), Athar and Nayabuddin (2013), among others.

Let (Xi , Yi ), i = 1, 2, . . . , n, be n pairs of independent random variables from some bivariate population
with distribution function F (x, y). If we arrange the X variates in ascending order as X(1, n, m, k) ≤
X(2, n, m, k) ≤ · · · ≤ X(n, n, m, k), then Y variates paired (not necessarily in ascending order) with these
generalized ordered statistics are called the concomitants of generalized order statistics and are denoted by
Y[1,n,m,k] , Y[2,n,m,k] , . . . , Y[n,n,m,k] . The pdf of Y[r,n,m,k] , the rth concomitant of generalized order statistics
is given as
