Tóm tắt

The inverse absorption distribution is shown to be a q-Pascal analogue of the Kemp and Kemp (1991) q-binomial distribution. The probabilities for the direct absorption distribution are obtained via the inverse absorption probabilities and exact expressions for its first two factorial moments are derived using q-series transformations of its probability generating function. Alternative models for the distribution are given.
