It is shown that for any positive integer k and positive parameter lambda less than 2/k(k+1), the Poisson distribution of order k with parameter lambda has a unique mode, 0. In addition, the Poisson distribution of order 2 has a unique…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. Its mean and variance are known, but results for its median and mode are difficult to obtain, although a few cases have been solved and upper/lower…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Our main result is a proof that for sufficiently small values of the rate parameter $\lambda$,…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Although its probability mass function (pmf) is known, what is lacking is a $visual$…
Sharp upper and lower bounds are established for the modes of the Poisson distribution of order k. The lower bound established in this paper is better than the previously established lower bound. In addition, for k = 2, 3, 4, 5, a recent…
Upper and lower bounds are derived for the mode(s) of the negative binomial distribution of order k, type I, with parameters r and p, which are employed to establish an explicit formula for the mode(s) in terms of r and k when p equals 0.5.…
This note analyzes properties of the median $\nu$ of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Given a value for the median in the interval $\nu\in[1,k]$, an equation to calculate the corresponding value of the rate parameter $\lambda$ is…
This note focuses on the properties of two blocks of elements of the probability mass function (pmf) of the Poisson distribution of order $k\ge2$. The first block is the elements for $n\in[1,k]$ and the second block is the elements for…
The factorial moments of the standard Poisson distribution are well known and are simple, but the raw moments are considered to be more complicated (Touchard polynomials). The present note presents a recurrence relation and an explicit…
The factorial moments of the standard Poisson distribution are well known. The present note presents an explicit combinatorial sum for the factorial moments of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Unlike the standard Poisson distribution…
We have known that most sequences in $\mathcal{M}=\{1,2,\dots, M\}$ with length $n$ will miss $Me^{-\lambda}$ of the total numbers of $\{1,2,\dots,M\}$ as the ratio $n/M$ tends to $\lambda$. Now we consider a more general case where the…
We study asymptotic behavior of the moments $M_k(\lambda)$ of the sum $X_1+\dots+X_{N_\lambda}$, where $N_\lambda$ follows the Poisson probability distribution with mean value $\lambda$ and $\{X_j\}$ is a family of i.i.d. random variables…
We prove the inequality $E[(X/\mu)^k] \le (\frac{k/\mu}{\log(k/\mu+1)})^k \le \exp(k^2/(2\mu))$ for sub-Poissonian random variables, such as Binomially or Poisson distributed random variables with mean $\mu$. The asymptotics $1+O(k^2/\mu)$…
We introduce the problem of simultaneously learning all powers of a Poisson Binomial Distribution (PBD). A PBD of order $n$ is the distribution of a sum of $n$ mutually independent Bernoulli random variables $X_i$, where $\mathbb{E}[X_i] =…
We study sums of independent random variables that take values $0$, $1/2$, or $1$. We show that the probability mass function of the sum splits into two interleaved parts: one supported on the integers and the other supported on the…
The two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution is the law of a sequence of decreasing nonnegative random variables with total sum one. It can be constructed from stable and Gamma subordinators with the two-parameters, $\alpha$ and…
In this paper we study a variation of the random $k$-SAT problem, called polarized random $k$-SAT. In this model there is a polarization parameter $p$, and in half of the clauses each variable occurs negated with probability $p$ and pure…
The Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution is a two-parameter generalisation of the Poisson distribution that can be used to model data that is under- or over-dispersed relative to the Poisson distribution. The normalizing constant…
We give an algorithm for properly learning Poisson binomial distributions. A Poisson binomial distribution (PBD) of order $n$ is the discrete probability distribution of the sum of $n$ mutually independent Bernoulli random variables. Given…
In this paper, an alternative mixed Poisson distribution is proposed by amalgamating Poisson distribution and a modification of the Quasi Lindley distribution. Some fundamental structural properties of the new distribution, namely the shape…
