The connection between Stirling numbers of the first kind and records is well-known. Applying this relationship, we derive bounds for the maximum likelihood estimator of the sample size based on the number of observed records. The proof proceeds by a remarkable expression of the mode of the unsigned Stirling numbers of the the first kind due to Hammersley. Moreover, this representation of the m...

We consider some integer sequences connected with combinatorial applications. Specifically, we consider Stirling partition and cycle numbers, associated Stirling partition and cycle numbers, and Eulerian numbers of the first and second kinds. We consider their evaluation in different contexts. One context is the calculation of a single value based on single input arguments. A more common contex...
