Description: Addresses the latest advances in discrete distributions theory including the development of new distributions, new families of distributions and a better understanding of their interrelationships. Greater emphasis on the increasing relevance of Bayesian inference to discrete distribution, especially with regard to the binomial and Poisson distributions, is covered. All chapters have been revised to make them user-friendly and more up-to-date. Extensive information on new mixtures, including generalized hypergeometric families, and the increased use of the computer have been added. The bibliography is updated and expanded along with relevant chapter and section numbers.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 473-547) and index.
