Asymptotic expansions of powered order statistics for generalized Maxwell distribution

  • Published: 31 March 2026
  • MSC : Primary 60F15; Secondary 60G70

  • Let $ M_{n, r} $ denote the $ r $th largest-order statistics of a sequence of independent random variables with common generalized Maxwell distribution with positive parameter $ k $. This paper mainly considers the higher-order asymptotic expansions of the distribution of normalized powered order statistics $ |M_{n, r}|^t $ and the corresponding convergence rates under different norming constants. The results show that when $ t = 2k $ and the optimal norming constants are selected, and the convergence speed of the distribution of $ |M_{n, r}|^t $ toward its extreme limit is proportional to $ 1/(\log n)^2 $, and for the case of $ t\neq 2k $, the convergence rate is proportional to $ 1/\log n $. The main results are confirmed by some numerical analysis.
