Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report the results of fitting three biologically significant statistical model, poisson, negative binomial (NB) and negative binomial - two parameter weighted exponential (NB-TWE) distribution to biological data. The results of fitting the different distribution are compared by using K-S Test and Cramer-von Mises Test , we found that the datas follows the highest value base on NB-TWE distribution, also implies that the NB-TWE distribution is the best fit for these data sets. Therefore, the NB-TWE distribution is choice for biological data with overdispersion problem and heavy-tailed with positively skewed.
