Abstract

We analyze the asymptotic number of items chosen in a selection procedure. The procedure selects items whose rank among all previous applicants is within the best 100p percent of the number of previously selected items. We use analytic methods to obtain a succinct formula for the first-order asymptotic growth of the expected number of items chosen by the procedure.
