In mathematics, Meixner polynomials (also called discrete Laguerre polynomials) are a family of discrete orthogonal polynomials introduced by Josef Meixner (1934). They are given in terms of binomial coefficients and the (rising) Pochhammer symbol by

${\displaystyle M_{n}(x,\beta ,\gamma )=\sum _{k=0}^{n}(-1)^{k}{n \choose k}{x \choose k}k!(x+\beta )_{n-k}\gamma ^{-k))$
