Abstract

It is known that the Fisher information in any set of order statistics can be simplified to a sum of double integrals. In this article, we show that it can be further simplified to a sum of single integrals for the scale parameter of an exponential distribution. Moreover, we use the result and provide a simple method of obtaining the optimal spacing of order statistics.
