I'm trying to familiarize myself with the latest results in finite sample statistics. It seems to me that these results can be classified into two categories: Unsurprising results confirm that the ...

Let $X_{(k)}$ be the $k$th order statistic out of $n$ uniform $[0,1]$ random variables. Let $q$ be the location of the $p$ quantile of $X_{(k)}$, i.e. $\Pr[X_{(k)}\leq q] = p$. For small $p$, Is it ...

An interesting combinatorial identity is the Vandermonde convolution identity: $$ \sum_k {n\choose k}{m\choose s-k} = {n+m \choose s},$$ which can be proved by considering the coefficients in $(x+1)^{...
