    Consider a random sample of a random size \(N\) from a population with a continuous distribution function \(F\). The authors characterize \(F\) in terms of the moments of the conditional distribution of \(k\)th order statistic, given that \(N\geq k\). Particular characterizations are given for the uniform, exponential, Pareto, logistic and the Weibull distributions.
