Abstract

A new two-parameter Poisson-Sujatha distribution, a Poisson mixture of a new two-parameter Sujatha distribution, which includes Poisson-Sujatha distribution and Poisson-Akash distribution as particular cases, has been introduced. Its moments based statistical measures including coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis and index of dispersion have been obtained. Maximum likelihood estimation has been explained for estimating its parameters. Goodness of fit of the proposed distribution has been explained with six over-dispersed count datasets and fit has been compared with Poisson-Sujatha distribution and other generalizations of Poisson-Sujatha distributions.
