Infinite Size-Biased Orders

Probability 2023-09-28 v1

Abstract

The infinite random size-biased order with arbitrary positive size parameters is introduced in terms of independent exponential random variables. We collect basic properties and constructions of the order, some of which belong to the folklore, and show how the order type (e.g. Z>0,Q{\mathbb Z}_{>0}, {\mathbb Q} or any other possible) depends on parameters.
