In this paper we study some important aspects of the Kies distribution by deriving expressions for its percentile measures, raw moments, reliability measures etc. The maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the distribution have been discussed and the distribution has been fitted to...

Here we develop an order k version of the zero-inflated logarithmic series distribution of Kumar and Riyaz [Staistica (accepted for publication), <CitationRef CitationID="CR10">2013b</CitationRef>] through its probability generating function, and derive an expression for its probability mass function. Certain recurrence relation for its...</citationref>
