Means, variances and covariances of order statistics blue's for the type i generalized logistic

In this paper, we first tabulate the means, variances and covariances of order statistics from the Type I generalized logistic distribution for b = 1.0 (0.5) 5.0 (1.0) 8.0 and for sample sizes up to fifteen. These quantities have been used in obtaining the necessary coefficients for the best linear unbiased estimators of the location and scale parameters, and the variances and covariance of these estimators. We also present some examples which illustrate the importance of all these tables in the contexts of estimation and robustness.
