Abstract

Characterizations of finite sequences β1<<βn\beta_{1}<\cdots<\beta_{n} representing expected values of order statistics from a random sample of size nn are given. As a by-product, a characterization of binomial mixtures, when the mixing random variable is supported in the open interval (0,1)(0,1), is presented; this enables the exact description of the convex hull of the open binomial curve, as well as the open moment curve.
