Abstract

The functional $T(F) = \int F^{-1}(t)J(t) dt$ associated with linear combinations of order statistics is shown to have a Frechet-type differential. As a corollary, the statistic $T(F_n)$ obtained by evaluating $T(\cdot)$ at the sample df $F_n$ is seen to be asymptotically normal and to obey a law of the iterated logarithm.
