B.2 The (a, b, 0) class
The distributions in this class have support on 0,1,…. For this class, a particular distribution is specified by setting p0 and then using pk = (a + b/k)pk-1. Specific members are created by setting p0, a, and b. For any member, μ(1) = (a + b)/(1 − a), and for higher j, μ(j) = (aj + b) μ(j-1)/(1 − a)/(1 − a). The variance is (a + b)/(1 − a)2.
