Abstract Count datasets are common in many areas of knowledge and, consequently, more general discrete distributions have been proposed due to the unique characteristics of each set. In particular, count data may present discrepancies (greater or lesser) in the observed frequencies of two observations, said k1 and k2, by comparing them with their expected frequencies obtained from a particular discrete distribution. In this sense, a modification in the probability mass function of discrete distributions is essential to adequately explain the behavior of the data. Following this context, the main objective of this project is to propose the family of discrete distributions k1 and k2 modified, which are able to model data sets that present or not some kind of modification (inflation and/or deflation) in the frequency of observations k1 and k2.
