Abstract
This paper deals with the classical problem of how to evaluate the joint rank statistics distributions for two independent i.i.d. samples from a common continuous distribution. It is pointed that these distributions rely on an underlying polynomial structure of negative binomial type. That property is exploited to obtain, in a systematic and unified way, closed forms and simple recursions, some well established, for computing the joint tail and rectangular probabilities of interest.
