Univariate Discrete Distributions THIRD EDITION

This new Third Edition addresses the latest advances in discrete distributions theory including the development of new distributions such as q-series and generalized zeta-function distributions and new families of distributions including Langrangian-type distributions offering and a better understanding of their theoretical and practical interrelationships. New derivations of discrete distributions via stochastic processes and random walks are introduced without turning the book into a treatise on the subject. Emphasis on the increasing relevance of Bayesian inference to discrete distribution, especially with regard to the binomial and Poisson distributions is maintained. All chapters have been updated to make them user-friendly and coherent and extensive information on the increased use of the computer has been added without changing or compromising the mathematical integrity.
