I have to do a seminar and it has some maths in it, which i can't grasp.
I know about probability of one variable, two variables and prob of one variable given the other variable.

https://fc33baf3-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites...C0cJpPU7__HwtcdtghunMqJ4tyvw==&attredirects=1

please check page 2 of this pdf. you will see an equation n=arg max P(k|n,s)

How should i read this equation.?what does it mean mathematically? Can u provide some references?

I also don't have any idea about the Theorem 1 given

"Theorem 1: If k < n, ^n is unique and is the smallest integer
j  k, which satisfies j+1......"

Please go through the page and give me some idea.

Click to expand...

In the context of the paper \(\displaystyle P(k \mid n,s) \) is the probability of getting k unique nodes given a sample of s nodes from a population of size n. Generally it would be read "The (conditional) probability of k given n and s." The comma between the n and s is often used to mean "and".

Does that help?
