On a trivariate Poisson distribution

Sotirios Loukas, Evgenia H. Papageorgiou (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

A four parameter trivariate Poisson distribution is considered. Recurrences for the probabilities and the partial derivatives of the probabilities with respect to the parameters are derived. Solutions of the maximum likelihood equations are obtaired and the determinant of their asymptotic covariance matrix is given. Applications of the maximum likelihood estimation technique to simulated data sets are also examined.

On the compound Poisson-gamma distribution

Christopher Withers, Saralees Nadarajah (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The compound Poisson-gamma variable is the sum of a random sample from a gamma distribution with sample size an independent Poisson random variable. It has received wide ranging applications. In this note, we give an account of its mathematical properties including estimation procedures by the methods of moments and maximum likelihood. Most of the properties given are hitherto unknown.
