Abstract

In this paper we discuss the basic properties of a discrete distribution introduced by Harris in 1948 and obtain a characterization of it. The divisibility properties of the distribution are also studied. We derive the moment and maximum likelihood estimators for both the parameters and verify them by simulated observations.
