摘要:Consider a population of individuals belonging to an infinity number of types, and assume that type proportions follow the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter α ∈ [0,1) and 𝜃 > − α . Given a sample of size n from the population, two important statistics are the number K n of different types in the sample, and the number M l , n of different types with frequency l in the sample. We establish moderate deviation principles for ( K n ) n ≥ 1 and ( M l , n ) n ≥ 1. Corresponding rate functions are explicitly identified, which help in revealing a critical scale and in understanding the exact role of the parameters α and 𝜃 .
