Abstract :
In this paper we discuss some properties of counting distributions whose discrete density {pn}n=0 satisfies a recursion in the form

pn = &Sigmaki=1 (ai+bi/n) pn-i                (n = 1, 2, ...)


with pn = 0 for n < 0 and present an algorithm for recursive evaluation of corresponding compound distributions.
