一开始我一直顺着原文的叙述试图理解概率为何为1/(k+1), 很困惑。谢谢数值分析坛友的提醒,终于想明白了。下面试着用同一思路但不同的语言叙述一下,作为总结。
0 G* @* O5 Z; j, {+ g8 a9 Q. a$ ]) U$ r0 R6 n
Let S be the set of the n elements in which there are k and only k elements that have value x. For each element w, let I be the indicator if w is examined or not, that is, I(w) = 1 if w is examined and 0 if w is not examined. X, the number of elements being examined, will be the sum of I(w) for all w in S. Accordingly, E[X] will be the sum of E[I(w)]=P{I(w)=1}.
$ w* n+ ^) g7 y! J8 o
: n( j5 H L' e9 a6 ]' T% RFor w that has a value x, the chance of w being examined is the chance that w is at the first position of a permutation of k x-valued elements. Therefore it's 1/k.
- R7 u; I. v% X! _! B6 A* ?& T( S7 \1 ?1 C5 B, E6 B
For w that has a value not being x, the chance of x being examined is the chance that w is at the first position of a permutation of all k x-valued elements plus w. Therefore it's 1/(k+1).
/ J/ s' f' Q4 g q& E, |" U
0 ]" G, g, b% \; v9 W; VThere are k elements that have value x and n-k elements that are not equal to x, so the sum of all these probabilities will be k*(1/k) + (n-k)*(1/(k+1)) = (n+1)/(k+1).
4 c" S' D. F- s7 @& r9 K; X; A' Y0 R* O$ H: e' I. t Z
理解上述解法的一个关键点是对于所有不等于x的element,它能不能有机会被查验取决于而且只取决于它与k个值为x的elements的相对位置。 |
