Natural exponential families and umbral calculus (English)
0 references
We use the umbral calculus to investigate the relation between natural exponential families and Sheffer polynomials. As a corollary, we obtain a new transparent proof of Feinsilver's theorem which says that natural exponential families have a quadratic variance function if and only if their associated Sheffer polynomials are orthogonal. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0890.00032].
