On Two-Parameter Akash Distribution

Shanker [3] obtained a PoissonAkash distribution (PAD), a Poisson mixture of Akash distribution, and discussed its various statistical and mathematical properties along with estimation of parameter and applications for count data from different fields of knowledge. Shanker [4,5] has also introduced size-biased and zero-truncated version of PAD and studied their properties, estimation of parameter using both the method of moments and the maximum likelihood estimation and applications for count datasets which structurally excludes zero counts. Shanker [6] has introduced a quasi Akash distribution for modeling lifetime data and discussed its statistical properties, estimation of parameters using both the method of moments and the maximum likelihood estimation. Shanker and Shukla [7] have obtained a weighted Akash distribution for modeling lifetime data and observed that it gives better fit than several one parameter and two-parameter lifetime distributions
