Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The paper gives a probabilistic proof of the Bailey-Daum theorem. It also provides random walks for certain special cases of the Bailey-Daum distribution and discusses the distribution's moment properties, logconvexity, logconcavity, and infinite divisibility.
