Heine-euler extensions of the poisson distribution
Adrienne W. Kemp · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 1992
The paper shows that the Heine and Euler distributions (Benkherouf and Bather, 1988) are members of a family of q-series anologues of the Poisson distribution, with similar probability mass functions, but different restrictions on their parameters, and different modes of genesis and properties. The relationships between the Heine, Euler, pseudo-Euler, Poisson and geometric distributions are explored. Illustrative data sets are discussed.
