“Copula Associated to Order Statistics”, Ulisses U. dos Anjos, Nikolai Kolev, Nelson I. Tanaka2005-12 (; backlinks; similar)⁠:

We exhibit a copula representation of the (r, s)-th bivariate order statistics from an independent sample of size n. We give conditions when such a representation converges weakly to a bivariate Gaussian copula. A recurrence relationship between the density of the order statistics is presented and related Fréchet bounds are given. The usefulness of those results are stressed through examples.
