Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1977, vol. 7, issue 3, 397-408

Abstract: A probelm of J. Neyman (in Classical and Contagious Discrete Distributions (G. P. Patil, Ed.), 1965, pp. 4-14) regarding a characterization of positive and negative multinomial distributions is studied in this paper. Some properties of multivariate power series distributions in general which should be of independent interest are also derived.
