    Article
    Open Access
    The distributions obtained by left-truncating at k a mixed Poisson distribution, kT-MP, and those obtained by mixing previously left-truncated Poisson distributions, M-kTP, are characterized by means of their probability ...

    To help settle the debate triggered the day after any election around the origin and destination of the vote of winners and losers, a Bayesian analysis of the results in a pair of consecutive elections is proposed. It is ...
  • On poisson-stopped-sums that are mixed poisson 

    Valero Baya, Jordi; Pérez Casany, Marta; Ginebra Molins, Josep (2013)
    Article
