On accurate and precise generation of generalized Poisson variates

Pages 489-499 | Received 01 Apr 2014, Accepted 17 Sep 2014, Published online: 12 Dec 2014
 

Abstract

This article is concerned with comparison of a few random variate generation techniques for the generalized Poisson distribution. An evaluation is conducted on the degree of proximity between the estimates for its two distributional parameters and first four moments, and the specified or computed true population values via commonly accepted accuracy and precision measures in a simulated setting.
