Abstract
This paper collects facts about the number of occupied boxes in the classical
balls-in-boxes occupancy scheme with infinitely many positive frequencies:
equivalently, about the number of species represented in samples from
populations with infinitely many species. We present moments of this random
variable, discuss asymptotic relations among them and with related random
variables, and draw connections with regular variation, which appears in
various manifestations.
