    Abstract: In this paper, a Poisson mixture of the Amarendra distribution, introduced by Shanker (2016 c), is proposed, and called the, “Poisson-Amarendra distribution”. The first four raw moments (about the origin) and central moments (about the mean) are obtained. The expression for coefficient of variation, skewness and kurtosis are also given. For the est...

    Abstract: In this article the alpha skew version of truncated Cauchy distribution using the methodology of Elal-Olivero (Alpha–skew–normal distribution. Proyecciones Journal of Mathematics. 29: 224-240, 2010) has been derived. The important distributional properties have been investigated. An application of the distribution in modeling exchange rate data fro... Show More
