On the number and sum of near-record observations

Let X 1,X 2,… be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with some continuous distribution function F. Let L(n) and X(n) denote the nth record time and the nth record value, respectively. We refer to the variables X i as near-nth-record observations if X i ∈(X(n)-a,X(n...
