Abstract |
|
|
| In this article, we attempt to introduce a new count data model which is obtained by compounding two
parameter discrete Weibull distribution with Minimax distribution. The proposed model has several properties, such as it
can be nested to different compound distributions on specific parameter settings. We shall first study some basic
distributional and moment properties of the new distribution. Then, certain structural properties of the distribution such as
its unimodality, hazard rate behavior and index of dispersion are discussed. Finally, two real data sets are analyzed to
investigate the suitability of the proposed distribution in modeling count data from medical genetics. |
