At which (random) sample size will every population element have been drawn at least m times? This special coupon collector's problem is often referred to as the Dixie cup problem. Some asymptotic properties of the Dixie cup problem with unequal sampling probabilities are described.

Convergence Type

This paper is devoted to the investigation of limit theorems for extremes with random sample size under general dependence-independence conditions for samples and random sample size indexes. Limit theorems of weak convergence type are obtained as well as functional limit theorems for extremal processes with random sample size indexes.

Coupon Collector's Problem

Asymptotic normality as well as some weak invariance principles for bonus sums and waiting times in an extended coupon collector's problem are considered and incorporated in the study of the asymptotic distribution theory of estimators of (finite) population totals in successive sub-sampling (or multistage sampling) with varying probabilities (without replacement). Some applications of these theorems are also considered.

Martingale Property

AbstractBy the use of a semi-martingale property of the Kolmogorov supremum, the results of Pyke (6) on the weak convergence of the empirical process with random sample size are simplified and extended to the case of p(≥1)-dimensional stochastic vectors.
