Abstract:
Let p k , k ≧ 0, be a probability distribution having finite binomial moments B r , r ≧ 0, and the probability generating function U ( z ) with a radius of convergence α (≧ 1). In this note explicit and recursive formulae are derived allowing computation of the p k in terms of the B r if α & gt; 1. Ch. Jordan's formula, which holds if α & gt; 2, turns out to be a special case.
