In the present article we derive a new discrete multivariate distribution using a limiting argument that is essentially the same as the law of small numbers. The distribution derived belongs to an exponential family, and randomly partitions positive integers. The facts shown about the distribution are useful in many fields of application involved with count data. The derivation parallels that of the Ewens distribution from the gamma distribution, and the new distribution is produced from the inverse Gaussian distribution. The method employed is regarded as the discretization of an infinitely divisible distribution over nonnegative real numbers.

AbstractWe propose a flexible multivariate stochastic model for over-dispersed count data. Our methodology is built upon mixed Poisson random vectors (Y1,…,Yd), where the {Yi} are conditionally independent Poisson random variables. The stochastic rates of the {Yi} are multivariate distributions with arbitrary non-negative margins linked by a copula function. We present basic properties of these mixed Poisson multivariate distributions and provide several examples. A particular case with geometric and negative binomial marginal distributions is studied in detail. We illustrate an application of our model by conducting a high-dimensional simulation motivated by RNA-sequencing data.

In this paper, we present a new weighted Poisson distribution for modeling underdispersed count data. Weighted Poisson distribution occurs naturally in contexts where the probability that a particular observation of Poisson variable enters the sample gets multiplied by some non-negative weight function. Suppose a realization y of Y a Poisson random variable enters the investigator’s record with probability proportional to w(y): Clearly, the recorded y is not an observation on Y, but on the random variable Yw, which is said to be the weighted version of Y. This distribution a two-parameter is from the exponential family, it includes and generalizes the Poisson distribution by weighting. It is a discrete distribution that is more flexible than other weighted Poisson distributions that have been proposed for modeling underdispersed count data, for example, the extended Poisson distribution (Dimitrov and Kolev, 2000). We present some moment properties and we estimate its parameters. One classical example is considered to compare the fits of this new distribution with the extended Poisson distribution.
