Article Stieltjes Classes for Discrete Distributions of Logarithmic Type(Univ Nis, Fac Sci Math, 2020) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetStieltjes classes play a significant role in the moment problem since they permit to expose explicitly an infinite family of probability distributions all having equal moments of all orders. Mostly, the Stieltjes classes have been considered for absolutely continuous distributions. In this work, they have been considered for discrete distributions. New results on their existence in the discrete case are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2On the Powers of Polynomial Logistic Distributions(Brazilian Statistical Association, 2016) Ostrovska, SofiyaLet P(x) be a polynomial monotone increasing on (-infinity, +infinity). The probability distribution possessing the distribution function F(x) = 1/1 + exp{-P(x)} is called the polynomial logistic distribution associated with polynomial P and denoted by PL(P). It has recently been introduced, as a generalization of the logistic distribution, by V. M. Koutras, K. Drakos, and M. V. Koutras who have also demonstrated the importance of this distribution in modeling financial data. In the present paper, for a random variable X similar to PL(P), the analytical properties of its characteristic function are examined, the moment-(in)determinacy for the powers X-m, m is an element of N and vertical bar X vertical bar(p), p is an element of (0, +infinity) depending on the values of m and p is investigated, and exemplary Stieltjes classes for the moment-indeterminate powers of X are constructed.
