Moderate deviations for Poisson–Dirichlet distribution
Abstract
The Poisson–Dirichlet distribution arises in many different areas. The parameter θ in the distribution is the scaled mutation rate of a population in the context of population genetics. The limiting case of θ approaching infinity is practically motivated and has led to new, interesting mathematical structures. Laws of large numbers, fluctuation theorems and large-deviation results have been established. In this paper, moderate-deviation …
