Abstract

Generalized discrete Laplace distribution, introduced by Seethalekshmi and Simi [21] is studied. The distribution is developed as a generalization of discrete Laplace distribution and various distributional properties of the model are reviewed. Estimation of the parameters of the distribution is obtained using MLE method and a simulation study is performed. Relevance of the model is established by fitting to a real data set and a comparative study is done with other three distributions. An INAR model using thinning operator is developed with GDL distribution as marginals.
