Résumé :
|
This book is intended both for practical and theoretical investigators - both for those who wish to use known procedures relating to contagious distributions in their work in some field of application, and those who wish to extend the procedures. The organization of the book reflects this intent. Chapter 1 is introductory, with a principal aim to provide a leisurely and repetitive treatment of generating functions - without these almost all of the distributions discussed are intolerably tedious to manipulate. Chapter 2 is a more formal treatment of discrete distributions so far as is relevant to the following Chapters : most of its detail will not be of interest to those primarily concerned with applications unless they have already a reasonable acquaintance with the kind of theory discussed. Chapter 3 attempts to relate distributions with a "stopped" structure to observational material, with some inconvenience because of the necessity of forward references to the specific distributions discussed in Chapters 4 an 5. These Chapters try to separate applicable procedures from the theory so that working formulae can be identified and used without the necessity of reading all the argument leading to them, but it must be confessed that the burden of symbols is sometimes so great as to make the task almost impossible. Finally, the Appendices represent another effort to cater for differing classes of readers. They do not only contain technical derivations : they include qualitative discussion and qualifications regarding commonly used procedures, partly to discourage the merely mechanical application of such techniques.
