Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of the order statistics and record values based on the gamma and Kumaraswamy-generated-distributions families is studied. In each case, the relation between the weak convergence of the base distribution and the generated family is revealed. Moreover, the relations between the limit types of the base distribution and its generated family are found.
