Example 1: The population from which samples are selected is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. This population has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of 1.70783. The next display shows a histogram of the population.

In this paper we consider large θ approximations for the stationary distribution of the neutral infinite alleles model as described by the the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter θ. We prove ...

We provide a general theorem bounding the error in the approximation of a random measure of interest—for example, the empirical population measure of types in a ...
