Abstract :
Through this paper we suggest an alternative form of the
modified zero-inflated logarithmic series distribution of Kumar and Riyaz
(Statistica, 2013) and study some of its important aspects. The method
of maximum likelihood is employed for estimating the parameters of the
distribution and certain test procedures are considered for testing the
significance of the additional parameter of the model. Further, all the
procedures are illustrated with the help of two real life data sets.
