ABSTRACT
In this paper we consider Bhattacharya and Holla’s (1965) distribution and derive its important structural properties which have not been studied so far. The distribution has very interesting properties when transformed in trigonometric functions which are also useful and alternative expression for obtaining its higher order moments. We also make an attempt to obtain estimate of its parameters. The model is fitted to the set of observed data and relative precision and a comparison has also been made.
KEYWORDS
Generating function, trigonometric function, compound distribution.
