estimating population from hash table fill rate
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but it looks reasonably close. I have a practical problem to estimate the number of actual entries in a large table, based on the fill level of a hash table. The...

Deciding how many averages are sufficient
Hi, I am performing the following operations: All vectors have the same length. Step 1. Define a vector of constants X Step 2. Create a vector Z = X + Noise, where Noise is AWGN of N~(, ) Step 3....

I have two sets of data distribution between 0 to 100%. I was thinking of using the Bayes theorem of explaining the data distribution. More info on Bayes theorem:...
View ArticleXn~Exponential(.5) -> Xn~Normal. Use Chebychev's inequality
Xn are iid Exponential(.5). After using the central limit theorem, Xn is Normally distributed. Use chebychev's inequality to find out how large n be so that P(|Xn-2| < .01) > .95. I tried working...
View Articleconvergence in probability and strong convergence in the discrete case
Show that if you have convergence in probability, then you also have strong convergence in the discrete case. I know that the discrete case means that the sum as i = 0 to n, P(Xi=xi) = 1. I don't know...
