Description

Simulates the random variables Y_i

Usage

simulate.Yi(N, epsilon, beta, n)

Arguments

N

Number of simulated Y_i

epsilon

Minimum size of unsampled splits (see appendix 1)

beta

n

Number of marks in the interval

Details

\((Y_i)\) are independant random variables with density \(2/(\lambda_\epsilon) exp(-(\beta+n+1)x) (1-exp(-x))^\beta\)
