• Description:
  This report deals with the development and application of a model useful for describing and comparing frequency data. The model is a truncated Poisson Probability density function with the zero-class unknown or censored. The development of the model is outlined and certain final derivations are explicitly presented. A numerical example is provided to clarify computation. The model was fitted to data resulting from the seafood consumption survey carried out by the National Purchase Diary Inc. during the period 1973-74. The analysis resulted in a descriptive model of consumption frequencies by the American public on various fish species.
