Abstract: Let X1:n[less-than-or-equals, slant]X2:n[less-than-or-equals, slant]...[less-than-or-equals, slant]Xn:n denote the order statistics of a random sample X1,...,Xn from a distribution F with support (0,[infinity]). Let the generalized spacings [resp. spacings, normalized spacings and dual normalized spacings] of the X-sample be defined by Uj,i:n=Xj:n-Xi:n, 0[less-than-or-equals, slant]i
