What is Combinatorics of geometrically distributed random variables: Left-to-right maxima about?

Assume that the numbers xl,..., x, are the output of n independent geometrically distributed random variables. The number xi is a left-to-right maximum if it is greater (or equal, for a variation) than xl ..... xi\_ 1. A precise average case analysis is performed for the parameter 'number of left-to-right maxima'. The methods include generating functions and a technique from complex analysis, called Rice's method. Some additional results are also given.

Who reads Combinatorics of geometrically distributed random variables: Left-to-right maxima?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Computer Science.
