Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…

Let $X,X_1,X_2,\cdots$ be independent real valued random variables with a common distribution function $F$, and consider $\{X_1,\cdots,X_N \}$, possibly a big concrete data set, or an imaginary random sample of size $N\geq 1$ on $X$. In the…
