Abstract

The paper tabulates individual and cumulative terms of the logarithmic series probability distribution using the mean of the distribution as entry argument. The range of the table is $\mu = 1.1 (0.1) 2.0 (0.5) 5.0 (1.0) 10.0$. The tables are prefaced by introductory material, outlining the history and applications of the distribution, deducing generating functions and moments, and giving a method of obtaining the terms of logarithmic series distributions outside the range of those tabled.
