  • Abstract
    We derive expressions for the probability that an individual order statistic is closest to the target parameter among the order statistics from a complete random sample. Results are given for random variables with bounded and complete support. We then apply these general results to location-scale parameter families of distributions with specific applications to estimation of percentiles. In this case, simultaneous-closeness probabilities depend upon the parameters through the value of p in the percentile and the sample size, n. Results are finally illustrated with the estimation of percentiles for normal and exponential distributions.
