Abstract

A procedure for estimating the zero class for a truncated Poisson sample is developed. Asymptotic normality of the estimator is established and a confidence interval for the missing zero class is obtained. This procedure is compared with the method obtained by Dahiya and Gross. Applications are given to illustrate the results obtained.
