Abstract

The exponentiated exponential distribution is one of the most seminal distributions of the 20th century. Here, we propose a discrete exponentiated exponential distribution. We derive its mathematical properties and procedures for estimation by common methods. The estimation procedures are assessed by simulation. Finally, the proposed distribution is compared with one of the most recent discrete distributions using two real data sets on insurance.
