title = "Sequential Search Algorithm for Estimation of the Number of Classes in a Given Population",
abstract = "Let N be the number of classes in a population to be estimated. Fix any preassigned error probability 0<epsilon< exp(-2) (roughly). We present a sequential search algorithm to estimate the exact value of N, with an error probability of at most epsilon, regardless of the value of N. ",
