ON CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION BY THE UPPER RECORD VALUES

In this paper, we establish detailed characterizations of the Weibull distribution by the independence of the upper record values. We prove that X $\in$ W EI($\alpha$), if and only if $\frac{X_{U(n)}}{X_{U(n+1)}+X_{U(n)}}$ and $X_{U(n+1)}$ are independent for n $\geq$ 1. And we show that X $\in$ W EI($\alpha$), if and only if $\frac{X_{U(n+1)}-X_{U(n)}}{X_{U(n+1)}+X_{U(n)}}$ and $X_{U(n+1)}$ are independent for n $\geq$ 1.
