ON SIZE-BIASED POISSON DISTRIBUTION AND ITS USE IN ZERO-TRUNCATED CASES

  • Published : 2008.09.25

Abstract

A size-biased Poisson distribution is defined. Its characterization by using a recurrence relation for first order negative moment of the distribution is obtained. Different estimation methods for the parameter of the model are also discussed. R-Software has been used for making a comparison among the three different estimation methods.
