- 01 Jan 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the optimal strategy results of Kelly and Breiman and extend the class of random variables to which they apply from discrete to arbitrary random variables with expectations.

Pareto Tail Index Estimation Revisited
TL;DR: In this article, an estimator of the tail index of a Pareto distribution is given that is based on the use of the probability integral transform, which provides performance comparable to the best robust estimators, while retaining conceptual and computational simplicity.

Confidence intervals for the number of unseen types
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find the unique maximum likelihood estimator of, and conservative confidence intervals for, the unknown number of different coupons in the coupon collector's problem, also known as the problem of estimating the abundance of wildlife.

Convergence in law of random sums with non-random centering
TL;DR: In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in law of random sums of non-identically distributed independent random variables under non-random centering were derived. And the distribution functions for limit laws were determined as well, generalizing results of Robbins.
