The expression of the probability mass function is derived in analytic form and some properties of the distribution are discussed, as well as sample estimation. A comparison is also made with a discrete version already proposed in the literature, which is based on a different rationale. An application to real data is finally presented.}, number={2}, publisher={İbrahim ÇANAK}
