Some Probability Models Related to Classical Occupancy with Possible Applications to Tactical Analysis.

Abstract

In this report three types of probability distributions associated with random search-type models are derived. The distributions are closely related to the classical occupancy problem. The first two types are univariate and are applicable to simple random search models such as mine hunting or one-kind mine sweeping. The thrid type is multivariate allowing for various mine ship count settings. (Author)
