A characterization by linearity of the regression function based on order statistics

We consider an infinite sequence X1,X2,... of independent random variables having a common continuous distribution function F(x). For 1[less-than-or-equals, slant]i[less-than-or-equals, slant]n, let {Xi:n} denote the ith order statistic among X1,...,Xn. In this paper, we characterize the distributions for which the regression E((X1:n+...+Xn:n)/nXk:n=x) is a linear function of x.
