Abstract

In this article, the joint best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) of two future unobserved order statistics, based on a set of observed order statistics, are developed explicitly. It is shown that these predictors are trace-efficient as well as determinant-efficient BLUPs. More generally, the BLUPs are shown to possess complete mean squared predictive error matrix dominance in the class of all linear unbiased predictors of two future unobserved order statistics. Finally, these results are extended to the case of simultaneous BLUPs of any ll future order statistics.
