In statistics, Ignatov's theorem (named after Prof. Tzvetan Ignatov, a Bulgarian mathematician, currently a professor at Sofia University) 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.
