Recently, I was reading a blog post called *[The P-transform](https://oeis.org/wiki/User:Peter_Luschny/P-Transform#.E2.99.A6.C2.A0P-polynomials)* by Peter Luschny, where the following formulas are given: \begin{align*} (-1)^k\frac{n!}{k!}\mathcal P^k_n\left(1, \frac1 2, \frac2 3, \dotsc\right) & = \genfrac[]{0pt}{}n k \\ (-1)^k\frac{n!}{k!}\mathcal P^k_n(1, 1, 1, \dotsc) & = \genfrac\lvert\rvert{0pt}{}n k \\ (-1)^k\frac{n!}{k!}\mathcal P^k_n\left(1, \frac1 2, \frac1 3, \dotsc\right) & = \genfrac\{\}{0pt}{}n k \\ (-1)^k\frac{n!}{k!}\mathcal P^k_n\left(1, 0, 0, \dotsc\right) & = \delta_{n, k}. \end{align*} The right-hand side in the first formula is the Stirling cycle number, the right-hand side in the second formula is the Lah number, right-hand side in the third formula is Stirling set number and the right-hand side in the fourth formula is Kronecker's delta. It is obvious that $\mathcal P_{n}^{k}(1, 1, 1, ...) = \binom{n-1}{k-1}$ since the definition of the Lah numbers according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lah_number) is $$\genfrac\lvert\rvert{0pt}{}n k = \frac{n!}{k!} \binom{n-1}{k-1}.$$ In the blog I do not find the general formula for $\mathcal P_{n}^{k}(a_{1}, a_{2}, \dotsc)$, so my question is: what is the general formula for $\mathcal P_{n}^{k}(a_{1}, a_{2}, \dotsc)$?
