The aim of the present work is to investigate the relative contribution of ordered and stochastic components in natural written texts and examine the influence of text category and language on these. To this end, a binary representation of written texts and the generated symbolic sequences are...

Bayes negative binomial models under two different parameterizations are shown to be completely identifiable by the form of the Bayes estimates of the parameter. Also power series mixtures are briefly treated.

A unified treatment is given for a family of bivariate discrete distributions with marginals and conditionals being convoluted Poisson distributions. Using generating functions a number of results are obtained for probabilities, cumulants and factorial cumulants. Conditional distributions are...
