The asymptotic values of certain coverage probabilities
The Australian National University Canberra
Consider n arbitrary subsets of a set X. Suppose
lies in H(x) of these subsets and define
and
. That is, the least and most covered regiona of X are respectively H- and H-covered, with 0
H ¯
n. Alternatively, H and ¯ determine the overall coverage of X by, and the maximal concentration of, the subsets in X, respectively. Each subset is taken to be the uniform random image of a fixed congruent subset of X , the n images being stochastically independent. The asymptotic value as
are determined for m = 0, 1, ....
