Journal ArticleDOI
On Birthday, Collectors', Occupancy and Other Classical Urn Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a unified approach by imbedding in Poisson processes, showing that many classical urn problems are closely related to properties of order statistics and extreme values from the gamma distribution.
Book
Problems and Snapshots from the World of Probability
TL;DR: This book comprises a collection of 125 problems and snapshots from discrete probability that provide quick overviews of topics in probability such as Markov chains, Poisson processes, random walks, patterns in random sequences, cover times, and embedding procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic normality and efficiency for certain goodness-of-fit tests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume that a random sample of size n has been taken from a multinomial distribution with N cells, and that 4k is the number of observations in the kth cell and set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covering the Circle with Random Arcs of Random Sizes.
Andrew F. Siegel,Lars Holst +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the random uniform placement of a finite number of arcs on the circle, where the arc lengths are sampled from a distribution on (0, 1) and provided exact formulae for the probability that the circle is completely covered and for the distribution of uncovered gaps.
