| Abstract: | Jain and Gupta (1973) have given a generalized logarithmic series distribution which, for β = 1, reduces to the logarithmic series distribution. In this note we obtain the distribution of the sum of independent generalized logarithmic series variables. This distribution conforms, in a special case, to the First-type Stirling distribution (Patil and Wani, 1965) and would be useful in estimation theory. |
