A batch-ballot problem and applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Let (X1, X2, · ··, Xn) be a vector of discrete splittable and interchangeable random variables, and let Sj = Σji = 1Xi. This paper is concerned with probabilities of the form P{Sj < jb – d for j = 1, 2, 3, ···, n | Sn = r}. We focus on applications of these probabilities, study their properties and suggest how they may be computed. The applications are from the areas of computer science, economics, operations management, finance and risk theory.
