A note on the coupon - collector's problem with multiple arrivals and the random sampling

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this note we evaluate the expected waiting time to complete a collection of coupons, in the case of coupons which arrives in groups of constant size, independently and with unequal probabilities. As an application we will be able to determine the expected number of samples of dimension g that we have to draw independently in order to observe all the types of individuals in a given population.
