Abstract

Let be the kth largest among Xn1, …, Xn[nt], where Xni = (Xi – an)/bn, {Xi} is a sequence of independent random variables and bn > 0 and an are norming constants. Suppose that for each converges in distribution. Then all the finite-dimensional laws of converge. The limiting process is represented in terms of a non-homogeneous two-dimensional Poisson process.
