Asymptotic normality of a nonparametric estimator of sample coverage
arXiv:0908.3440 · doi:10.1214/08-AOS658
Abstract
This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of the nonparametric estimator of sample coverage proposed by Good [Biometrica 40 (1953) 237--264]. This new necessary and sufficient condition extends the validity of the asymptotic normality beyond the previously proven cases.
