Abstract: | Summary The main purpose of this note is to call attention to the close relationship between the problem of estimating the parameter of a zero-truncated power series distribution and the problem of estimating the parameter of an associated factorial series distribution. We also extend a known recurrence property for the Poisson case to the binomial and negative binomial cases. |
