In this paper, we consider a cluster model of weighted Euclidean random balls generated by a shot-noise Cox process. It is an example of cluster point process. We perform a scaling on the model by shrinking the radii of the balls and…

For random percolation at p_c, the probability distribution P(n) of the number of spanning clusters (n) has been studied in large scale simulations. The results are compatible with $P(n) \sim \exp(-an^2)$ for all dimensions. We also study…

In the context of a species sampling problem we discuss a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator for the underlying probability mass function. The estimator is known in the computer science literature as the high profile estimator. We…

We consider an estimation problem of expected functionals of a general random element that values in a metric space. If the functional forms an explicit function of some unknown parameters, we can estimate it by plugging-in a suitable…

This paper shows that one cannot learn the probability of rare events without imposing further structural assumptions. The event of interest is that of obtaining an outcome outside the coverage of an i.i.d. sample from a discrete…
