In statistics, the concept of a concomitant, also called the induced order statistic, arises when one sorts the members of a random sample according to corresponding values of another random sample.
Let (X, Y), i = 1, . . ., n be a random sample from a bivariate distribution. If the sample is ordered by the X, then the Y-variate associated with X will be denoted by Y and termed the concomitant of the r order statistic.
Suppose the parent bivariate distribution having the cumulative distribution function F(x,y) and its probability density function f(x,y), then the probability density function of rconcomitant Y for 1 ≤ r ≤ n is
f(y) = ∫f(y∣x)f(x) dx
If all (X, Y) are assumed to be i.i.d., then for 1 ≤ r < ⋯ < r ≤ n, the joint density for (Y, ⋯, Y) is given by
f(y, ⋯, y) = ∫∫⋯∫∏f(y∣x)f(x, ⋯, x)dx⋯dx
That is, in general, the joint concomitants of order statistics (Y, ⋯, Y) is dependent, but are conditionally independent given X = x, ⋯, X = x for all k where x ≤ ⋯ ≤ x. The conditional distribution of the joint concomitants can be derived from the above result by comparing the formula in marginal distribution and hence
f(y, ⋯, y∣x, ⋯, x) = ∏f(y∣x)
