Properties of the generalized hypergeometric series functions are employed to get the recurrence relation for inverse moments and inverse factorial moments of some discrete distributions. Meanwhile, with the existence of the recurrence relations, the accurate value for inverse moment of discrete distributions can thus be obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
