In this article, a discretized form of Poisson-exponentiated Weibull distribution namely, discrete Poisson exponentiated Weibull (DPEW) distribution is introduced and studied. The model parameters are estimated using the method of maximum likelihood and its accuracy is established through simulated data. The adequacy of the new distribution in modelling count datasets, in comparison to alternative distributions, is demonstrated with different real datasets of asymmetric nature. A bivariate form of discrete Poisson-exponentiated Weibull distribution is also developed by considering Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula.
