Inverse distributions: the logarithmic case

Comment.Math.Univ.Carolinae 39,4 (1998) 785-795.

Abstract:In this paper it is proved that the distribution of the logarithmic series is not invertible while it is found to be invertible if corrected by a suitable affinity. The inverse distribution of the corrected logarithmic series is then derived. \par Moreover the asymptotic behaviour of the variance function of the logarithmic distribution is determined. \par It is also proved that the variance function of the inverse distribution of the corrected logarithmic distribution has a cubic asymptotic behaviour.
