| Abstract: | The distribution of the time T for the occurrence of the rth event is derived in a linear function Poisson process, which belongs to a recently introduced family of distributions (JANARDAN and RAO, 1981), called Lagrangian distributions of the second kind (LD2). In analogy with the ordinary Poisson process, the distribution of the random variable T has been termed the Lagrangian Gamma distribution of the second kind (LG2); several of its properties and special cases are studied. The frequency function is graphed for some parameter values. |
