The increasing property for binomial and Poisson distributions
Let be a binomially or Poisson-distributed random variable with -transform , and let denote the standard Gaussian distribution function. The increasing property. The function
is increasing, while the function
is decreasing. The source describes this as a stronger conjecture that implies the intersection property for binomial and Poisson distributions, but gives no resolution of the conjecture.
