Abstract
This paper presents characterizations of the Weibull distribution by the independence of record values. We prove that $X\;{\in}\;W\;EI ({\alpha})$, if and only if $\frac {X_{U(n+l)}} {X_{U(n+1)}\;+\;X_{U(n)}}$ and $X_{U(n+1)}$ for $n{\geq}1$ are independent or $\frac {X_{U(n)}} {X_{U(n+1)}\;+\;X_{U(n)}}$ and $X_{U(n+1)}$ for $n{\geq}1$ are independent. And also we establish that $X\;{\in}\;W\;EI({\alpha})$, if and only if $\frac {X_{U(n+1)}\;-\;X_{U(n)}} {X_{U(n+1)}\;+\;X_{U(n)}}$ and $X_{U(n+1)}$ for $n{\geq}1$ are independent.
