Title: Characterizations of a discrete normal distribution
Abstract: The paper obtains a discrete analogue of the normal distribution as the distribution that is characterized by maximum entropy, specified mean and variance, and integer support on (− ∞, ∞). Two alternative characterizations are given, firstly as the distribution of the difference of two related Heine distributions, and secondly as a weighted distribution.
