Poisson-Tweedie mixtures are the Poisson mixtures for which the mixing measure is generated by those members of the family of Tweedie distributions whose support is non-negative. This class of non-negative integer-valued distributions is comprised of Neyman type A, back-shifted negative binomial, compound Poisson-negative binomial, discrete stable and exponentially tilted discrete stable laws. For a specific value of the “power” parameter associated with the corresponding Tweedie distributions, such mixtures comprise an additive exponential dispersion model. We derive closed-form expressions for the related variance functions in terms of the exponential tilting invariants and particular special functions. We compare specific Poisson-Tweedie models with the corresponding Hinde-Demétrio exponential dispersion models which possess a comparable unit variance function. We construct numerous local approximations for specific subclasses of Poisson-Tweedie mixtures and identify Lévy measure for all the members of this three-parameter family.

Although there have been fairly recent advances regarding inference for three-dimensional rotation data, there are still many areas of interest yet to be explored. One such area involves comparing the rotational symmetry of 3-D rotations. In this paper, nonparametric inference is used to test if F 1=F 2, where F i is the degree of rotational symmetry of distribution i, through a permutation test. The validity of the developed permutation test is examined through a simulation study and the test is applied to a small example in biomechanics.

The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of Gini-Simpson’s diversity index (GS) is widely used but suffers from large bias when the number of species is large or infinite. We propose a new estimator of the GS index and show its unbiasedness. Asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is established when the number of species in the population is finite and known, finite but unknown, and infinite. Simulations demonstrate advantages of our estimator over the MLE, and a real example for the extinction of dinosaurs endorses the use of our approach. Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes is 60E05, which refers to distributions: general theory.
