A Characterization of Zero-inflated Geometric Model

Nagesh, G. Nanjundan, Suresh, Sadiq Pasha

Abstract

Zero-inflated models have been applied to a variety of situations in the recent years. Especially they are found very useful in count regression models. The zeroinflated geometric model is characterized in this paper through a differential equation which is satisfied by its probability generating function (pgf).

Keywords

Zero-inflated geometric model, probability distribution, linear differential equation.
