OrderStatisticDistribution

Description

This class models the distribution of the order statistic of a specified order from a random sample of a specified size from a specified sampling distribution. The class has methods for getting and setting the sampling distribution, sample size, and order, and for computing the probability density function. The class inherits methods from the parent Distribution class for computing the mean, variance, moments, distribution function, quantile function, generating function, and simulated value. Some of these methods are overridden to implement closed formulas or better algorithms. This distribution is used, for example, in the order statistic experiment.
