KHAN, Khushnoor. Corrigendum to "Descriptive Measures of Poisson-Lomax Distribution". Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.345-353.  Epub Dec 05, 2020. ISSN 0120-1751.

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 of the R codes using Monte Carlo simulation some anomalies occurred in the calculation of the mean values. The same anomalies are addressed in the present corrigendum. The outcome of the corrigendum will provide basic guidelines for the academia and reviewers of various journals to match the numerical 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'.

Keywords : Monte Carlo method; Poisson-Lomax distribution; probability distribution.
