Abstract

In this paper, an attempt is made to study the distribution of the number of male migrants from household through a sizebiased probability model based on certain assumptions. The parameters of the proposed model have been estimated by method of moments and its suitability is tested by applying it to a number of the observed set of population data collected under some sample surveys. We found that the proposed model describes the observed data satisfactorily well.
