Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...

A Further Note on Alternatives to Bpref

We investigate the effect of reducing the original relevance data on discriminative power (i.e., how often statistical significance can be detected given the probabilit...
