Abstract: Abstract. In this paper, we establish new representations, identities and recurrence relations of order statistics (o.s.) arising from general independent nonidentically distributed random variables (r.v.’s). These recurrence relations will enable one to compute all moments of all o.s. in a simple manner. Applications for some known distributions are given.
