DEV PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION AND SOME OF ITS APPLICATIONS
P. C. Consul (Canada) and Felix Famoye (U. S. A.)
|
Abstract: By using the second Lagrange expansion, we define the Dev probability distribution characterized by three parameters. We study some of the properties of Dev probability model and show that the distribution satisfies the convolution property. Applications of the probability distribution in queuing theory and in stochastic model of epidemics are presented. A numerical example on absenteeism data is provided. |
Keywords and phrases: Lagrange expansion, recurrence relations, convolution, estimation, stochastic model. |
