This book is an outcome of the research work "The Inverse Gaussian - Poisson Distribution" done by the author. The relatively new but potentially important distribution has been widely acclaimed and extensively used for the study of skewed distributions frequently arising in various social sciences. Apart from reviewing the development of the distribution, the book has gone the whole hog to discuss the statistical properties and methods based on this distribution. This book shows the robustness of the distribution through its potential useful applications in studying the observed distributions covering the wide range of social science such as population studies, economics, geography, sports and biology. Because of the sound statistical theory and tractability of methodology, it is hoped that the technique will be of immediate use in data analysis for practicing statisticians and social scientists.

Social Security is a very comprehensive term and a dynamic concept, which has drawn the attention of almost all the countries of the World.
