Probability generating functions, f ( q ), and their corresponding extremal distributions for (a) the Binomial Bin 20,0.1 and (b) the Geometric distribution G 0.3328591 truncated at maximal value 20. Both distributions have a mean of 2. A histogram of the offspring distribution can be found above the plot of the generating functions. The probability generating functions for the extremal distributions are plotted in color, and can be found above and below the plot of the generating functions.
