Considering discrete models, the univariate framework has been studied in depth compared to the multivariate one. This paper first proposes two criteria to define a sensu stricto multivariate discrete distribution. It then introduces the class of splitting distributions that encompasses all usual multivariate discrete distributions (multinomial, negative multinomial, multivariate hypergeometric, multivariate neg- ative hypergeometric, etc . . . ) and contains several new. Many advantages derive from the compound aspect of split- ting distributions. It simplifies the study of their characteris- tics, inferences, interpretations and extensions to regression models. Moreover, splitting models can be estimated only by combining existing methods, as illustrated on three datasets with reproducible studies.
