Abstract

This study proposes and examines a zero-truncated discrete Akash distribution and obtains its probability and moment-generating functions. Its moments and moments-based statistical constants, including coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, and the index of dispersion, are also presented. The parameter estimation is discussed using both the method of moments and maximum likelihood. Applications of the distribution are explained through three examples of real datasets, which demonstrate that the zero-truncated discrete Akash distribution gives better fit than several zero-truncated discrete distributions.
