Proof of logconcavity of some compound Poisson and related distributions

چکیده
Compound Poisson distributions play important role in many applications (telecommunication, hydrology, insurance, etc.). In this paper, we prove that some of the compound Poisson distributions have the logconcavity property that makes them applicable in stochastic programming problems. The proofs are based on classical Turan types theorem and orthogonal polynomials. Acknowledgements: Please insert the acknowledgement here.

Log-concavity, ultra-log-concavity, and a maximum entropy property of discrete compound Poisson measures
Sufficient conditions are developed, under which the compound Poisson distribution has maximal entropy within a natural class of probability measures on the nonnegative integers. Recently, one of the authors [O. Johnson, Stoch. Proc. Appl., 2007] used a semigroup approach to show that the Poisson has maximal entropy among all ultra-log-concave distributions with fixed mean. We show via a non-tr...

متن کاملZero inflated Poisson and negative binomial regression models: application in education
Background: The number of failed courses and semesters in students are indicatorsof their performance. These amounts have zero inflated (ZI) distributions. Using ZI Poisson and negative binomial distributions we can model these count data to find the associated factors and estimate the parameters. This study aims at to investigate the important factors related to the educational performance of ...
متن کاملBranching Particle Systems and Compound Poisson Processes Related to Pólya-aeppli Distributions
We establish numerous new refined local limit theorems for a class of compound Poisson processes with Pólya-Aeppli marginals, and for a particular family of the branching particle systems which undergo critical binary branching and can be approximated by the backshifted Feller diffusion. To this end, we also derive new results for the families of Pólya–Aeppli and Poisson–exponential distributio...
