  2. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    From a permutations perspective, let the event A be the probability of finding a group of 23 people without any repeated birthdays. Where the event B is the probability of finding a group of 23 people with at least two people sharing same birthday, P(B) = 1 − P(A).

  3. Diehard tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests

    The name is based on the birthday paradox. Choose m birthdays in a year of n days. List the spacings between the birthdays. If j is the number of values that occur more than once in that list, then j is asymptotically Poisson-distributed with mean m 3 / (4n).

  4. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    To effectively convert a Lehmer code d n, d n−1, ..., d 2, d 1 into a permutation of an ordered set S, one can start with a list of the elements of S in increasing order, and for i increasing from 1 to n set σ i to the element in the list that is preceded by d n+1−i other ones, and remove that element from the list.

  8. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    In a 1977 review of permutation-generating algorithms, Robert Sedgewick concluded that it was at that time the most effective algorithm for generating permutations by computer. [2] The sequence of permutations of n objects generated by Heap's algorithm is the beginning of the sequence of permutations of n+1 objects.

  9. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    In combinatorics, the twelvefold way is a systematic classification of 12 related enumerative problems concerning two finite sets, which include the classical problems of counting permutations, combinations, multisets, and partitions either of a set or of a number.
