Problems of specifying bivariate discrete distributions by a conditional distribution and a regression function are investigated. A review of the known results, together with new characterizations involving conditional power series laws, is given. Also some remarks on a method making use of marginal

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we consider characterizations of the binomial, negative binomial, hypergeometric, negative hypergeometric, multinomial and multivariate hypergeometric distributions, by linear regression of one random variable (vector) on the other and the conditional distribution of the other random variable (vector) given the first. It is also indicated how these results can be used in genetics.

We show that two well known characterization theorems for the exponential distribution, based on the lack of memory property and independence of successive spacings, can be used to characterize other absolutely continuous distributions useful in modelling precipitation and stream-flow data.

This paper characterizes a class of multivariate survival functions in terms of the minimum and marginal distributions.
Bivariate failure rates and mean residual lives for nonnegative integer valued discrete variables are defined and examined for the unique determination of the underlying frequency function. As an application, a bivariate geometric distribution is obtained through a characterization approach based on
