Abstract

In this paper we establish some recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments of the upper record values from the Weibull distribution. Suppose $X{\in}WEI({\lambda})\;then\;E(\frac {X^\tau_U(m)} {X^{s+1}_{U(n)}})=\frac{1}{(s-\lambda+1)}E(\frac {X^\tau_U(m)}{X^{s-\lambda+1}_{U(n-1)}})-\frac{1}{(s-\lambda+1)}+E(\frac{X^\tau_U(m)}{X^{s-\lambda+1}_{U(n)}})\;and\;E(\frac {X^{\tau+1}_{U(m)}}{X^s_{U(n)}})=\frac{1}{(r+\lambda+1)}E(\frac{X^{\tau+\lambda+1}_{U(m)}}{X^s_{U(n-1)}})-\frac{1}{(\tau+\lambda+1)}E(\frac{X^{\tau+\lambda+1}_{U(m-1)}}{X^s_{U(n-1)}})$.
