For interval estimation of a proportion the Score Interval is quite accurate. It has good reviews in the Statistics literature. But the problem is that it is not used enough. A reason is that many consider it is complicated. In this paper, we suggest a program and other things th...

It is important to fit count data with suitable model(s), models such as Poisson Regression, Quassi Poisson, Negative Binomial, to mention but a few have been adopted by researchers to fit zero truncated count data in the past. In recent times, dedicated models for fitting zero t...

Increasing the parameter of a distribution helps to capture the skewness and peakedness characteristic in the data sets. This allows a more realistic modeling of data arising from different real life situations. In this paper, we modified Laplace distribution using the exponentia...
