This distribution has been extended to the bivariate case. The generating function for this distribution is
with
The marginal distributions are Poisson( θ1 ) and Poisson( θ2 ) and the correlation coefficient is limited to the range
The Skellam distribution is a particular case of this distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all.
