Gamma and Poisson distributions and their relations to the randomness
I'm reading the following paper:
https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/32/1/122/1743683
and in Figure 3 (Section 4.4) the authors have shown some vertex degree distributions:

Poisson process subordinated by a gamma process
I am working on a problem and I encountered the following situation:
$(N(t): t \ge 0)$ is a Poisson process with parameter $\lambda t $. If $T_{n} = \sum_{i=1}^n W_i$ represents the $n^\text{th}$ ...

Is every discrete compound Poisson distribution a mixed Poisson distribution?
I asked and bountied this question at math SE but didn't get any answers, so I suspect that only experts (if anyone) may know the answer.
The mixed Poisson distribution and compound Poisson ...

Transforming a Poisson distribution into a power law
Consider the probability mass function of the Poisson distribution given a mean $\lambda$:
\begin{equation}
\mathbb{P}\left(Y=k|\lambda\right)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^{k}}{k !}
\end{equation}

Was this proposition on cumulants of compound Poisson distributions known before I put it into a Wikipedia article?
The $n$th cumulant $\kappa_n$ of a probability distribution for $n\ge2$ is functional that is a polynomial in the first $n$ moments of the distribution, that has the properties of $(1)$ homogeneity, $(...
