A new generalization of the Pareto–geometric distribution
In this paper we introduce a new distribution called the beta Pareto–geometric. We provide a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution and derive expressions for its moment generating function and the rth generalized moment.

| Summary: | In this paper we introduce a new distribution called the beta Pareto–geometric. We provide a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution and derive expressions for its moment generating function and the rth generalized moment. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood and obtain the information matrix that is easily numerically determined. We also demonstrate its usefulness on a real data set. |
