Multivariate Identities, Permutation and Bonferroni Upper Bounds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 September 2008
Abstract
We derive identities for the probability that at least a1 and at least a2, and for the probability that exactly a1 and exactly a2, out of n and N events occur (1 ≤ a1 ≤ n, 1 ≤ a2 ≤ N). From this, we produce multivariate permutation hybrid upper bounds, and a multivariate Bonferroni-type upper bound which includes Galambos and Xu's [2] optimal result. The methodology generalizes that of Hoppe and Seneta [3, §5]. A numerical example is given.
