摘要:
Fisher''s logarithmic series, developed as a limiting case of the negative binomial distr. for small intrinsic probabilities, has been used successfully in graduating data of a great var. of biological problems. The apparently basic nature of the distr. suggests the attempt to provide a theoretical interpretation. A stochastic process is defined, specifying birth and death rates and a constant rate of immigration. General solns. are obtained and 3 special cases are considered. In each case, the soln. is either a negative binomial or a Fisher logarithmic series distr.
