摘要:The Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) distribution is a natural twoparametergeneralisation of the Poisson distribution which has received some attentionin the statistics literature in recent years by offering flexible generalisationsof some well-known models. In this work, we begin by establishing some propertiesof both the CMP distribution and an analogous generalisation of the binomialdistribution, which we refer to as the CMB distribution. We also consider someconvergence results and approximations, including a bound on the total variationdistance between a CMB distribution and the corresponding CMP limit.
