Hi, I have (I hope) a simple question:

Say I have n samples Y1, Y2, ... Yn each from a Binomial
distribution with parameters p and n (that is, each Yi is the
sum of n Bernoulli trails with parameter p).

I would like to know the density function for the nth (max)
order statistic (i.e., the max of Y1,...Yn).

The answer may be in H.A. David's book "Order Statistics", but
it's out of our library and will take me a few weeks to have
recalled.

Thanks,
/Keith
