title: On some probability models and their applications to the distribution of the number of migrants from a household.
abstract: This paper discusses some probability models in relation to their application to the distribution of the number of migrants from a household.  2 types of distribution of migrants from a household are described here:  1) male migrants aged 15 and above and 2) total number of migrants including females and children from a household.  It is found that the model proposed here fitted the several sets of observed data on the number of migrants satisfactorily well.
