Abstract
This study introduces a new two-parameter mixed Poisson distribution, namely Poisson-Weighted Exponential (P-WE), which is obtained by mixing Poisson distribution with a new class of weighted exponential distribution. The new P-WE distribution provides a more flexible alternative for modelling over dispersed count data compared to Poisson distribution. The estimation procedures of P-WE distribution via method of moments and maximum likelihood are provided. This study also introduces P-WE regression model which can be fitted to over dispersed count data with covariates. The P-WE distribution and P-WE regression model are fitted to two sets of count data.
