Abstract

Here we introduce an extended version of the alternative hyper-Poisson distribution of Kumar and Nair (Statistica, 2012a) and study some of its important properties. The maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of this extended version is also discussed and demonstrated its usefulness with the help of some real life data sets.
