Estimating the probability that a given vector is in the convex hull of a random sample

For a d-dimensional random vector X, let pn,X (θ ) be the probability that the convex hull of n independent copies of X contains a given point θ. We provide several sharp inequalities regarding pn,X (θ ) and NX (θ ) denoting the smallest n for which pn,X (θ ) ≥ 1/2. As a main result, we derive the t...
