摘要
Let (X-n) be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables, with common distribution function F, possibly discontinuous. We use martingale arguments to connect the number of upper records from (X-n) with sums of minima of related random variables. From this relationship we derive a general strong law for the number of records for a wide class of distributions F. including geometric and Poisson.
