POISSON APPROXIMATION FOR THE COUPON COLLECTOR’S PROBLEM
Chanokgan Sahatsathatsana
|
Abstract: In probability theory, the coupon collector’s problem relates to a person trying to collect a complete set of m different types of coupons, with each type having a certain probability of being collected. We use the Stein-Chen method to obtain estimation of error Poisson approximation to distribution of the coupon collector’s problem. |
Keywords and phrases: the coupon collector’s problem, Poisson distribution, Stein-Chen coupling method. |
