Discrete Q-Distributions
Charalambos A. Charalambides
A self-contained study of the various applications and developments of discrete distribution theory
Written by a well-known researcher in the field, Discrete q-Distributions features an organized presentation of discrete q-distributions based on the stochastic model of a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials. In an effort to keep the book self-contained, the author covers all of the necessary basic q-sequences and q-functions.
The book begins with an introduction of the notions of a q-power, a q-factorial, and a q-binomial coefficient and proceeds to discuss the basic q-combinatorics and q-hypergeometric series. Next, the book addresses discrete q-distributions with success probability at a ... Read more
- Discussions of the definitions and theorems that highlight key concepts and results
- Several worked examples that illustrate the applications of the presented theory
- Numerous exercises at varying levels of difficulty that consolidate the concepts and results as well as complement, extend, or generalize the results
- Detailed hints and answers to all the exercises in an appendix to help less-experienced readers gain a better understanding of the content
- An up-to-date bibliography that includes the latest trends and advances in the field and provides a collective source for further research
- An Instructor’s Solutions Manual available on a companion website
A unique reference for researchers and practitioners in statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, and other applied sciences, Discrete q-Distributions is also an appropriate textbook for graduate-level courses in discrete statistical distributions, distribution theory, and combinatorics.
