  • Abstract
    Characterizations of beta, binomial, and Poisson distributions are presented by using conditional expectation. The author gives a necessary and sufficient condition for identifying the beta distribution. The power distribution is considered as a special case. The binomial distribution is characterized. A necessary and sufficient condition identifying the Poisson distribution is outlined. Some practical applications are presented
