Abstract :
The exponential mixture of probability mass functions arises in many fields. Although straightforward to characterize and utilize, it does not lead to a simple probabilistic interpretation as does the linear mixture. We remedy this by giving a general probabilistic problem whereby the exponential mixture describes the probabilities involved.
