Abstract :
This paper presents a unified framework to determine the joint moment generating function and the joint probability density function of functions of ordered independent identically distributed random variables. The framework is quite general and includes not only the case when all the ordered RVs are considered but also the case when only the subset of these ordered RVs is taken into consideration.
