Characterizing the Zeta Distribution via Continuous Mixtures

08/14/2020

We offer two novel characterizations of the Zeta distribution: first, as a tractable continuous mixture of Negative Binomial distributions (with fixed shape parameter), which does not satisfy the identifiability property; and second, as a tractable continuous mixture of Poisson distributions.
