The present note presents an explicit combinatorial sum for the factorial moments of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Unlike the standard Poisson distribution (the case $k=1$), for $k>1$ the structure of the factorial moments is much more complicated. Some properties of the factorial moments of the Poisson distribution of order $k$ are elucidated in this note.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-26T04:22:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60E05", "39B05", "11B37", "05-08" ], "keywords": [ "factorial moments", "standard poisson distribution", "explicit combinatorial sum", "properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
