Abstract:Background: Different discretization methods have been proposed to provide a better fit to count observations with characteristics resembling a given continuous distribution. This is done to provide discrete distribution with characteristics resembling a chosen continuous distribution. This study compares discretization through survival function and mixed Poisson processes.
Methodology: The Ailamujia distribution is extended using the cubic rank transmutation map. The shapes and some moment based propert… Show more
