Asymptotics for Repeat Times in Random Sampling - Camarri (1998) (Correct)
....at least one repeat birthday with the assumptions that birthdays are independent from person to person and each birthdate is equally likely. With a year of length 365 days simple calculations find the answer to be 23. Many variations of this problem have been studied. See Diaconis and Mosteller [8] for a conversational summary of such generalisations. Here we are primarily interested in a sequential version of the Birthday Problem. That is, with a stream of people arriving, what are the distributions of the times that repeat birthdays arrive. We still assume that birthdays are independent ....

....is greater than one half. The assumptions are a year of length 365 days, with each day equally likely as a birthday, and birthdays independent from person to person. It is well known that the answer is 23. A number of generalisations of this problem have been studied. See Diaconis and Mosteller [6] for a conversational summary of some of these approaches. Here we are interested in the sequential birthday problem as stated by Camarri and Pitman [4] They consider an iid sequence with a common discrete distribution p, on a finite or countable set S, and calculate the distributions of the ....
