Assume in a sample of size M one finds M representatives of species i with i = 1 ⋯ N*. The normalized frequency p* ≡ M/M, based on the finite sample, may deviate considerably from the true probabilities p. We propose a method to infer rank-ordered true probabilities r from measured frequencies M. We show that the rank-ordered probabilities provide important informations on the system, e.g., the true number of species, the Shannon- and the Renyi-entropies. © EDP Sciences, Società Italiana di Fisica, Springer-Verlag 2004.
