Limit distributions for the problem of collecting pairs

Abstract

Let Nn=\1,2,...,n\. Elements are drawn from the set Nn with replacement, assuming that each element has probability 1/n of being drawn. We determine the limiting distributions for the waiting time until the given portion of pairs jj, j∈ Nn, is sampled. Exact distributions of some related random variables and their characteristics are also obtained.
