The empirical characteristic function (ECF) has been in use in statistical inference for nearly
fifty years now. We provide an overview of testing procedures based on the ECF within …

The paper presents new characterizations of the integer‐valued moving average model. For
four model variants, we give moments and probability generating functions. Yule–Walker …

This paper studies properties of parameter estimators obtained by minimizing a distance
between the empirical probability generating function and the probability generating function …

The use of the probability generating function in testing the fit of discrete distributions was
proposed by Kocherlakota & Kocherlakota (1986), and further studied by Márques and …

This paper studies the problem of simultaneously testing that each of k samples, coming
from k count variables, were all generated by Poisson laws. The means of those populations …

A class of tests for the two-sample problem for count data whose test statistic is an L 2-norm
of the difference between the empirical probability generating functions associated with …

By quantifying key life history parameters in populations, such as growth rate, longevity, and
generation time, researchers and administrators can obtain valuable insights into its …

The two-parameter Neyman type A distribution is quite useful for modeling count data, since
it corresponds to a simple, flexible and overdispersed discrete distribution, which is also …

A mutator is a variant in a population of organisms whose mutation rate is higher than the
average mutation rate in the population. For genetic and population dynamics reasons …
