Asymptotic Behaviour of k -Word Matches Between Two Uniformly Distributed Sequences

Kantorovitz, Miriam; Booth, Hilary; Burden, Conrad; Wilson, Susan

Description

Given two sequences of length n over a finite alphabet A of size \A\ = d, the D2 statistic is the number of k-letter word matches between the two sequences. This statistic is used in bioinformatics for EST sequence database searches. Under the assumption
