Approximating negative and harmonic mean moments for the Poisson distribution
C. M. Jones
Abstract
Asymptotic expansions and the related approximations are
constructed for the negative moments of the Poisson distribution
and the moments of the harmonic mean of independent and
identically distributed (i.i.d.) Poisson random variable (r.v.). The
accuracy of the approximations are assessed and applications to
multi-centre clinical trials are outlined.
Keywords
