On the bias of order statistics in non-i.i.d. samples

A formula for the leading bias term in the expected value of a central order statistic from a non-i.i.d. sample is derived. This formula generalises the well-known result in the i.i.d. case and covers various situations in which the underlying observations are not independent and/or not identically distributed.
