The uniform poisson–ailamujia distribution: Actuarial measures and applications in biological science

Abstract

We propose a new asymmetric discrete model by combining the uniform and Poisson– Ailamujia distributions using the binomial decay transformation method. The distribution, named the uniform Poisson–Ailamujia, due to its flexibility is a good alternative to the well-known Poisson and geometric distributions for real data applications in public health, biology, sociology, medicine, and agriculture. Its main statistical properties are studied, including the cumulative and hazard rate functions, moments, and entropy. The new distribution is considered to be suitable for modeling purposes; its parameter is estimated by eight classical methods. Three applications to biological data are presented herein.
