Abstract

A size biased generalized geometric series distribution (SBGGSD) is dened and
studied. Estimation of its parameters by the Bayes method is proposed. A
goodness of t is done in order to test its improvement over the zero truncated
generalized geometric series distribution (ZTGGSD) and the size biased geometric
series distribution (SBGGSD).
