Combinatorial Methods in Discrete Distributions provides the necessary combinatorial methods in the theory of discrete distributions, including basic enumerative techniques, finite differences, Stirling numbers, and partition polynomials. Exploiting the method of reduction of the joint distribution of the random occupancy numbers to the joint distribution of independent random variables, given their sum, the book presents elaborate and systematic treatment of occupancy distributions, convolutions of truncated discrete distributions and compound (generalized) discrete distributions.
