Abstract
This corrigendum focuses on the correction of numerical results derived from Poisson-Lomax Distribution (PLD) originally proposed by Al-Zahrani & Sagor (2014). Though the mathematical properties and derivations by Al-Zahrani & Sagor (2014) were immaculate but during the execution ofthe R codes using Monte Carlo simulation some anomalies occurred in the calculation of the mean values. The same anomalies are addressed in thepresent corrigendum. The outcome of the corrigendum will provide basic guidelines for the academia and reviewers of various journals to match thenumerical results with the shape of the probability distribution under study. The results will also emphasize the fact that code writing is a cumbersome process and due diligence be exercised in executing the codes using any programming language. Relevant R codes are appended in Appendix 'A'.
期刊介绍:
The Colombian Journal of Statistics publishes original articles of theoretical, methodological and educational kind in any branch of Statistics. Purely theoretical papers should include illustration of the techniques presented with real data or at least simulation experiments in order to verify the usefulness of the contents presented. Informative articles of high quality methodologies or statistical techniques applied in different fields of knowledge are also considered. Only articles in English language are considered for publication.
The Editorial Committee assumes that the works submitted for evaluation
have not been previously published and are not being given simultaneously for publication elsewhere, and will not be without prior consent of the Committee, unless, as a result of the assessment, decides not publish in the journal. It is further assumed that when the authors deliver a document for publication in the Colombian Journal of Statistics, they know the above conditions and agree with them.
