On order statistics and Kendall’s tau

Abstract

Using Kendall’s tau for copulas, we compare the degree of concordance of random variables with that of their order statistics. We prove a general inequality and show that this inequality is strict for every copula from the Fréchet family which is distinct from the upper Fréchet–Hoeffding bound.
