Transmuted geometric distribution (TGD) was recently introduced and investigated by Chakraborty and Bhati [Stat. Oper. Res. Trans. 40 (2016), 153–176]. This is a flexible extension of geometric distribution having an additional parameter that determines its zero inflation as well as the tail length....

The precision and accuracy of any estimation can inform one whether to use or not to use the estimated values. It is the crux of the matter to many if not all statisticians. For this to be realized biases of the estimates are normally checked and eliminated or at least minimized. Even with this in mind...

One of data mining schemes in statistics is clustering panel data such as longitudinal data and time series data. Classical approaches to cluster such time dependent information do not properly count time dependencies among objects we are interested to analyze. In the present study, we propose an approach...

A count data that have excess number of zeros, ones, twos or threes are commonplace in experimental studies. But these inflated frequencies at particular counts may lead to overdispersion and thus may cause difficulty in data analysis. So to get appropriate results from them and to overcome the possible...

The hypothesis of interest is the equivalence of the population average response for T with the mean...

In large scale surveys, it is customary to accept unaltered the responses provided by the respondents, leaving no provision for investigators to pass on any circumstantial judgment on the responses. This restrictive practice sometimes vitiates the estimation of a parameter. Here we consider a real life...
