Hi Peter, H Berwin, thanks a lot for your clarifications, it makes more sense now. But having our input and thinking a little bit more about the problem, I realized that I am simply interested in the pdf p(y) that y *number* of entities (which ones is irrelevant) in N are are *not* drawn after the

[R] OT: What distribution is this?

2010-09-25 Thread Rainer M Krug
Hi This is OT, but I need it for my simulation in R. I have a special case for sampling with replacement: instead of sampling once and replacing it immediately, I sample n times, and then replace all n items. So: N entities x samples with replacement each sample consists of n sub-samples WITHO
