An application of the Extended Waring distribution to model count data variables

An extension of the univariate Waring distribution is proposed as an alternative to the UGWD for overdispersed count data in those cases in which the parameter estimates do not allow the properties of the UGWD to be used, such as the partition of the variance. Specifically, this model is applied to study the set of variables number of hotels per municipality in the Autonomous Region on Andalusia (Spain) from 1990 to 2003.
