Probability generating functions of a MPSD with applications

Pages 99-103 | Received 01 Sep 1980, Published online: 04 Mar 2011
 

Abstract

In this paper, a general method of obtaining the probability generating function (pgf) of a Modified Power Series distribution (MPSD), introduced by GUPTA (1974), is presented. This method is employed to derive the pgf of generalized negative binomial, generalized Poisson, generalized logarithmic series and the lost game distribution.
