Extremal Properties of Extreme Value Distributions
The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1951 The upper and lower bounds for the expectation, the coefficient of variation, and the variance of the largest member of a sample from a symmetric population are discussed. The upper bound for the expectation (Table 1, Fig. 1), the lower bound for the C.V. (Table 2, Fig. 4) and the lower bound for the variance (Fig.

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1950 The extremal quotient is defined as the ratio of the largest to the absolute value of the smallest observation. Its analytical properties for symmetrical, continuous and unlimited distributions are obtained from a study of the auto-quotient defined as the ratio of two non-negative variates with identical distributions.
