Abstract

In this paper, we define new random processes as the pointwise
order statistics of a set of random processes. We derive the upcrossing rates
of the order statistics processes in closed form. Also, we establish relations
between the average duration of the order statistics processes and the average
duration of their component processes. Finally, we obtain the asymptotic
distribution of the excess heights of the new processes.
