An alternative hyper-Poisson distribution

An alternative hyper-Poisson distribution

An alternative form of hyper-Poisson distribution is introduced through its probability mass function and studies some of its important aspects such as mean, variance, expressions for its raw moments, factorial moments, probability generating function and recursion formulae for its probabilities, ra...
