Abstract

In many sampling involving non negative integer data, the zeros are observed to be significantly higher than the expected assumed model. Such models are called zero-one inflated models. The zero inflated Poisson distribution was recently considered and studied due to its empirical needs and application. In this paper, an extension to the case of zero inflated case is considered, namely, the zero and one inflated Poisson distribution, along with some of its structural properties, and estimation of its parameters using the methods of moments and maximum likelihood estimators were obtained with three empirical examples as well.
