This distribution has been extended to the bivariate case. The generating function for this distribution is
with
The marginal distributions are Poisson( θ1 ) and Poisson( θ2 ) and the correlation coefficient is limited to the range
The Skellam distribution is a particular case of this distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
