Chapter
Stirling Numbers and Records
Abstract
Stirling numbers and generalized Stirling numbers and their properties are briefly described first. Then some relationships between Stirling numbers and record times are presented. Finally, we show that generalized Stirling numbers of the first kind describe distributions of some record statistics in the so-called Fα-scheme.
