Discrete Inverted Kumaraswamy Distribution: Properties and Estimation

Abstract

In this paper, a discrete inverted Kumaraswamy distribution; which is a discrete version of the continuous inverted Kumaraswamy variable, is derived using the general approach of discretization of a continuous distribution. Some important distributional and reliability properties of the discrete inverted Kumaraswamy distribution are obtained. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches are applied to estimate the model parameters. A simulation study is carried out to illustrate the theoretical results. Finally, a real data set is applied.
