Abstract

A new class of discrete distributions, namely discrete Mittag-Leffler distributions is introduced and its properties are studied. The discrete Mittag-Leffler distributions are the discrete analogue of Mittag-Leffler distributions and are generalizations of the geometric distribution. First-order autoregressive discrete Mittag-Leffler process is developed.
