In statistics, Ignatov's theorem (named after Tzvetan Ignatov, a prominent Bulgarian mathematician) states that for an infinite sequence of independent and identically distributed i.i.d. random variables, the k-record process, consisting of those terms that are the k-th largest at their appearance, is i.i.d.
