| Aug 2, 2010 at 3:23 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | Do you have a reference for that? As far as I can tell, it is not hard to construct distributions not of this form which don't satisfy the third requirement. I have read a statement like this in writing by Gian-Carlo Rota, but it was "subject to certain technical requirements" which I thought I had figured out. | |
| Aug 2, 2010 at 2:57 | comment | added | Kevin O'Bryant | This is also the unique nontrivial distribution on the positive integers that makes the events "$p$ divides $X$" and "$q$ divides $X$" independent whenever $p,q$ are distinct primes. | |
