We show that these polynomials are dual of the Charlier polynomials by the Stirling transform and we study the resulting combinatorial identities for the number of partitions of a set into subsets of size at least 2. 1 Introduction The moments of the Poisson distribution are well-known to be connected to the combinatorics of the Stirling and Bell numbers. In particular the Bell polynomials Bn A satisfy the relation Bn A Ex Zn n G N where Z is a Poisson random variable with parameter A 0 and n Bn 1 E S n c c 0 is the Bell number of order n . the number of partitions of a set of n elements. In this paper we study the central moments of the Poisson distribution and we show that they can be expressed using the number of partitions of a set into subsets of size at least 2 in connection with an extension of the Bell polynomials.
