A Generating Model Involving Pascal and Logarithmic Series Distributions

John Panaretos

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper considers a model where an original observation from a discrete distribution generates, according to a certain mechanism, another observation. A special case with the logarithmic series distribution as the original distribution and the Pascal distribution as the generating mechanism is examined. The interpretation, implications and applications of the results are discussed
