Abstract: New characterizations of the Poisson distribution based on an identity involving the Binomial thinning operator are presented. These characterizations allow the construction of statistics for testing the Poisson distribution against alternatives belonging to a large family called the LC-class, and against general alternatives. The usefulness and the power of the tests are illustrated with several examples of applications in Biodosimetry.
