An analytic approach to the asymptotic variance of trie statistics and related structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop analytic tools for the asymptotics of general trie statistics, which are particularly advantageous for clarifying the asymptotic variance. Many concrete examples are discussed for which new Fourier expansions are given. The tools are also useful for other splitting processes with an underlying binomial distribution. We specially highlight Philippe Flajolet’s contribution in the analysis of these random structures.

The Variance of the Number of 2-Protected Nodes in a Trie
We derive an asymptotic expression for the variance of the number of 2-protected nodes (neither leaves nor parents of leaves) in a binary trie. In an unbiased trie on n leaves we find, for example, that the variance is approximately .934n plus small fluctuations (also of order n); but our result covers the general (biased) case as well. Our proof relies on the asymptotic similarities between a ...
متن کاملModelling of Correlated Ordinal Responses, by Using Multivariate Skew Probit with Different Types of Variance Covariance Structures
In this paper, a multivariate fundamental skew probit (MFSP) model is used to model correlated ordinal responses which are constructed from the multivariate fundamental skew normal (MFSN) distribution originate to the greater flexibility of MFSN. To achieve an appropriate VC structure for reaching reliable statistical inferences, many types of variance covariance (VC) structures are considered ...
متن کاملStudy of Random Biased d-ary Tries Model
Tries are the most popular data structure on strings. We can construct d-ary tries by using strings over an alphabet leading to d-ary tries. Throughout the paper we assume that strings stored in trie are generated by an appropriate memory less source. In this paper, with a special combinatorial approach we extend their analysis for average profiles to d-ary tries. We use this combinatorial appr...
متن کاملModified Progressive Type-II Censoring Procedure in Life-Testing under the Weibull Model
In this paper we introduce a new scheme of censoring and study it under the Weibull distribution. This scheme is a mixture of progressive Type II censoring and self relocating design which was first introduced by Srivastava [8]. We show the superiority of this censoring scheme (PSRD) relative to the classical schemes with respect to “asymptotic variance”. Comparisons are also made with respect ...
متن کاملSome Asymptotic Results of Kernel Density Estimator in Length-Biased Sampling
In this paper, we prove the strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the kernel density estimator proposed by Jones [12] for length-biased data.The approach is based on the invariance principle for the empirical processes proved by Horváth [10]. All simulations are drawn for different cases to demonstrate both, consistency and asymptotic normality and the method is illustrated by ...
