A Poisson Approximation for an Occupancy Problem with Collisions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
We study collision probabilities concerning the simple balls-and-bins problem developed by Wendl (2003). In this article we give the factorial moment of the number of collisions. Moreover, we obtain a Poisson approximation for the number of collisions using the Chen-Stein method.
