:The general form of the problem stated at the beginning of the [[Panjer recursion]] article seems to be rather different from the ideas behind [[(a,b,0) class of distributions]] and even "Claim number distribution", so it might be best to start be separating out the "Claim number distribution" material and then possibly merging that into [[(a,b,0) class of distributions]] .

:I've changed the {{tl|merge}} templates to be agnostic about the direction as on second thoughts I agree that merging most of the section "[[Panjer recursion#Claim number distribution]]" into "[[(a,b,0) class of distributions]]" would make more sense. There seems to be no single generally accepted name for these distributions unfortunately. I noticed that [http://www.casact.org/library/astin/vol32no2/283.pdf this paper (Hess Liewald, Schmidt 2002)] calls any member of the (a, b; k) class a "Panjer distribution". I'm not sure what the best title is, though we can have several redirects, of course. Maybe leave as "[[(a,b,0) class of distributions]]" for now, but if it's expanded to cover (a,b,1) etc it might make sense to retitle to e.g. "(a,b;k) class of distributions" or "Panjer class of distributions" ?

:There should be a distinct separation between the (a,b,0) class and Panjer's recursion. Note that the recursion provides a way to compute the distribution function of compound distributions when the count (claim number, frequency, etc.) belongs to the (a,b,0) class. However, the compound distribution itself does NOT belong to the (a,b,0) class. If anything, the Panjer Recursion page should be expanded to include the continuous form and some discussion on the stability of the algorithm. This page would make more sense as a discussion on the more general (a,b,m) class, with (a,b,0) linking to it. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/149.173.6.51|149.173.6.51]] ([[User talk:149.173.6.51|talk]]) 14:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
'''Closure''': given the above, I have moved most of the material on the [[(a,b,0) class of distributions]] to that article from [[Panjer recursion]], hopefully leaving just enough to make [[Panjer recursion]] understandable.
