✦ Synopsis

The paper obtains a discrete analogue of the normal distribution as the distribution that is characterized by maximum entropy, specified mean and variance, and integer support on (-vc, so). Two alternative characterizations are given, firstly as the distribution of the difference of two related Heine distributions, and secondly as a weighted distribution. ,~, 19'97 Elsevier Science B.V.

We study the two-action problem in a discrete normal distribution via the empirical Bayes approach. An empirical Bayes test \* n is constructed based on an estimator a \* n of the critical point aG of the Bayes test. The empirical Bayes test \* n possesses the monotonicity and the asymptotic optimal
