Overview

This useful reference/text provides a comprehensive study of the various bivariate discretedistributions that have appeared in the literature- written in an accessible manner thatassumes no more than a first course in mathematical statistics.Supplying individualized treatment of topics while simultaneously exploiting the interrelationshipsof the material, Bivariate Discrete Distributions details the latest techniques ofcomputer simulation for the distributions considered ... contains a general introduction tothe structural properties of discrete distributions, including generating functions, momentrelationships, and the basic ideas of generalizing . . . develops distributions using samplingschemes . .. explores the role of compounding ... covers Waring and "short" distributionsfor use in accident theory ... discusses problems of statistical inference, emphasizing techniquespertinent to the discrete case ... and much more!Containing over 1000 helpful equations, Bivariate Discrete Distributions is in essential,self-contained reference for applied and general statisticians, and biostatisticians; biometriciansand mathematicians; and researchers in actuarial science, accident theory, environmentalscience, ecology, and the study of wildlife populations; and an outstanding text forupper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
