The discrete Lindley distribution: properties and applications

Abstract: Modelling count data is one of the most important issues in statistical research. In this paper, a new probability mass function is introduced by discretizing the continuous failure model of the Lindley distribution. The model obtained is over-dispersed and competitive with the Poisson distribution to fit automobile claim frequency data. After revising some of its properties a compound discrete Lindley distribution is obtained in closed form. This model is suitable to be applied in the collective risk model when both number of claims and size of a single claim are implemented into the model. The new compound distribution fades away to zero much more slowly than the classical compound Poisson distribution, being therefore suitable for modelling extreme data.

Another generalization of the geometric distribution

Abstract: A new generalization of the geometric distribution with parameters α>0 and 0<θ<1 is obtained in this paper. This can be done either by using the Marshall and Olkin (Biometrika 84(3), 641–652, 1997) scheme and adding a parameter to the geometric distribution or by starting with the generalized exponential distribution in Marshall and Olkin (Biometrika 84(3), 641–652, 1997) and discretizing this continuous distribution. The particular case α=1 led us to the geometric distribution. After reviewing some of its properties, we investigated the question of parameter estimation. The new distribution is unimodal with a failure rate that is monotonically increasing or decreasing, depending on the value of the parameter α. Expected frequencies were calculated for two overdispersed and infradispersed examples, and the distribution was found to provide a very satisfactory fit.

The Log–Lindley distribution as an alternative to the beta regression model with applications in insurance

Abstract: In this paper a new probability density function with bounded domain is presented. The new distribution arises from the generalized Lindley distribution proposed by Zakerzadeh and Dolati (2010). This new distribution that depends on two parameters can be considered as an alternative to the classical beta distribution. It presents the advantage of not including any special function in its formulation. After studying its most important properties, some useful results regarding insurance and inventory management applications are obtained. In particular, in insurance, we suggest a special class of distorted premium principles based on this distribution and we compare it with the well-known power dual premium principle. Since the mean of the new distribution can be normalized to give a simple parameter, this new model is appropriate to be used as a regression model when the response is bounded, being therefore an alternative to the beta regression model recently proposed in the statistical literature.

Univariate and multivariate versions of the negative binomial-inverse Gaussian distributions with applications

Abstract: In this paper we propose a new compound negative binomial distribution by mixing the p negative binomial parameter with an inverse Gaussian distribution and where we consider the reparameterization p = exp ( − λ ) . This new formulation provides a tractable model with attractive properties which make it suitable for application not only in the insurance setting but also in other fields where overdispersion is observed. Basic properties of the new distribution are studied. A recurrence for the probabilities of the new distribution and an integral equation for the probability density function of the compound version, when the claim severities are absolutely continuous, are derived. A multivariate version of the new distribution is proposed. For this multivariate version, we provide marginal distributions, the means vector, the covariance matrix and a simple formula for computing multivariate probabilities. Estimation methods are discussed. Finally, examples of application for both univariate and bivariate cases are given.

Univariate Discrete Distributions

Abstract: Here are two books on a topic new to Technometrics: statistical and mathematical demography. The first author of Applied Mathematical Demography wrote the first two editions of this book alone. The second edition was published in 1985. Professor Keyfritz noted in the Preface (p. vii) that at age 90 he had no interest in doing another edition; however, the publisher encouraged him to find a coauthor. The result is an additional focus for the book in the world of biology that makes it much more relevant for the sciences. The book is now part of the publisher’s series on Statistics for Biology and Health. Much of it, of course, focuses on the many aspects of human populations. The new material focuses on mature population models, the particular focus of the new author (see, e.g., Caswell 2000). As one might expect from a book that was originally written in the 1970s, it does not include a lot of information on statistical computing. The new book by Alho and Spencer is focused on putting a better emphasis on statistics in the discipline of demography (Preface, p. vii). It is part of the publisher’s Series in Statistics. The authors are both statisticians, so the focus is on statistics as used for demographic problems. The authors are targeting human applications, so their perspective on science does not extend any further than epidemiology. The book actually strikes a good balance between statistical tools and demographic applications. The authors use the first two chapters to teach statisticians about the concepts of demography. The next four chapters are very similar to the statistics content found in introductory books on survival analysis, such as the recent book by Kleinbaum and Klein (2005), reported by Ziegel (2006). The next three chapters are focused on various aspects of forecasting demographic rates. The book concludes with chapters focusing on three areas of applications: errors in census numbers, financial applications, and small-area estimates.
