Beta distribution and associated Stirling
numbers
of the second kind
J. Gismatullin
P. Tardivel
Abstract:
This article gives a formula for associated Stirling numbers of the
second kind based on the moment of a sum of independent random variables
having a beta distribution. From this formula we deduce lower and upper
bounds for these numbers, using a probabilistic approach.
