A GENERALIZATION OF THE CLASSICAL DISCRETE DISTRIBUTIONS

Pages 871-888 | Published online: 19 Aug 2006
 

ABSTRACT

Some results related to the family of Inflated-parameter generalized power series distributions (IGPSD) are presented. The probability mass functions, useful properties, and recursion formulas are given. A characterization of the Inflated-parameter geometric distribution in terms of the ρ-type lack of memory property is given. The distributions are discussed as counting distributions in risk theory.
