This is an expository article on the Poisson binomial distribution. We review lesser known results and recent progress on this topic, including geometry of polynomials and distribution learning. We also provide examples to illustrate the…
Sequences of orthogonal polynomials that are alternative to the Jacobi polynomials on the interval $[0,1]$ are defined and their properties are established. An $(\alpha,\beta)$-parameterized system of orthogonal polynomials of the…
Exponential families are the workhorses of parametric modelling theory. One reason for their popularity is their associated inference theory, which is very clean, both from a theoretical and a computational point of view. One way in which…
In this survey, different aspects of the theory of orthogonal polynomials of one (real or complex) variable are reviewed. Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are not discussed.
This paper introduces a notion of 2-orthogonality for a sequence of polynomials to give extended versions of the Meixner and Feinsilver characterization results based on orthogonal polynomials. These new versions subsume the Letac-Mora…
An observation on Hall-Littlewood polynomials.
We study a family of orthogonal polynomials which generalizes a sequence of polynomials considered by L. Carlitz. We show that they are a special case of the Sheffer polynomials and point out some interesting connections with certain…
In this paper we focus on two new families of polynomials which are connected with exponential polynomials and geometric polynomials. We discuss their generalizations and show that these new families of polynomials and their generalizations…
In this notice, we revisit the recent work [1] of Jung Yoog Kang and Tai Sup about special polynomials with exponential distribution in order to state some improvements and get new proofs for results therein.
We introduce a new family of multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfying orthogonality conditions with respect to two weights $(w_1,w_2)$ on the positive real line, with $w_1(x)=x^\alpha e^{-x}$ the gamma density and $w_2(x) = x^\alpha…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].
The new method for obtaining a variety of extensions of Hermite polynomials is given. As a first example a family of orthogonal polynomial systems which includes the generalized Hermite polynomials is considered. Apparently, either these…
In the 6th Int. Symposium on OPSFA there were several communications dealing with concrete applications of orthogonal polynomials to experimental and theoretical physics, chemistry, biology and statistics. Here I make suggestions concerning…
A new class of distributions, called Generalized One Parameter Polynomial Exponential-G family of distributions is proposed for modelling lifetime data. An account of the structural and reliability properties of the new class is presented.…
We give a survey of the analytic theory of matrix orthogonal polynomials.
We show that various identities from [1] and [3] involving Gould-Hopper polynomials can be deduced from the real but also complex orthogonal invariance of multivariate Gaussian distributions. We also deduce from this principle a useful…
