Abstract

The paper gives a number of generalizations of the Moran characterization of the binomial distribution as the distribution of U\(U + V = m) where U and V have independent Poisson distributions. These involve q-series distributions including two new q-analogues of the binomial distribution. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
