โœฆ Synopsis

This paper considers some approximations for the Borel-Tanner (Generalized Poisson) sums by using (i) Gram-Charlier Poisson expansion, (ii) Mixture of two Poisson distributions, (iii) Variance stabilizing technique, and (iv) negative binomial distribution. It has been found that the approximation obtained by using the negative binomial distribution seems to be more efficient than the other approximation.

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. Characte
