Furthermore, we compare our results with the classical \\textit{independent heuristic} and prove that the independent heuristic overestimates by a factor of $e^{\\Theta(n^{2\\delta})}$. Our comparison is based on the analysis of the \\textit{correlation ratio} and we obtain the explicit bound for the constant in $\\Theta$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-24T19:59:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymptotic enumeration", "comparison", "dimensional binary contingency tables", "sharp asymptotic formula", "independent heuristic overestimates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
