    Using the hypergeometric distribution \(_{p+1}F_{p}(\alpha_{1},\dots,\alpha_{p+1}; \gamma_{1},\dots,\gamma_{p},\lambda)\) a family of discrete Pearson distributions is determined. The authors uses the corresponding moment generating functions and obtain an expression of the needed hypergeometric series. The estimation of the parameters is analyzed. Some distributions are generated and plotted for \(p=2,3,5\) and 6.
