AbstractA new generalized class of Lindley distribution is introduced in this paper. This new class is called the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions, and it is generated by using the quantile functions of uniform, exponential, Weibull, log-logistic, logistic and Cauchy distributions. The statistical properties including the modes, moments and Shannon’s entropy are discussed. Three new generalized Lindley distributions are investigated in more details. For estimating the unknown parameters, the maximum likelihood estimation has been used and a simulation study was carried out. Lastly, the usefulness of this new proposed class in fitting lifetime data is illustrated using four different data sets. In the application section, the strength of members of the T-Lindley{Y} class in modeling both unimodal as well as bimodal data sets is presented. A member of the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions outperformed other known distributions in modeling unimodal and bimodal lifetime data sets.

This paper is devoted to the construct of the maximum likelihood estimator of the lifetime performance index based on first-failure progressive right type II censored sample for Lindley distribution. Statistical inference for assessing the lifetime performance of the items is performed. Finally, two examples are given, one of them considers a real life application of blood samples from organ transplant recipient using the liquid chromatography (HPLC) data and the other is a simulated example to illustrate the proposed statistical procedure.

This article is devoted to the study of overlap measures of densities of two exponential populations. Various Overlapping Coefficients, namely: Matusita’s measure ρ, Morisita’s measure λ and Weitzman’s measure ∆. A new overlap measure Λ based on Kullback-Leibler measure is proposed. The invariance property and a method of statistical inference of these coefficients also are presented. Taylor series approximation are used to construct confidence intervals for the overlap measures. The bias and mean square error properties of the estimators are studied through a simulation study.

In this paper we introduce a new distribution, called the modified slash Lindley distribution, which can be seen as an extension of the Lindley distribution. We show that this new distribution provides more flexibility in terms of kurtosis and skewness than the Lindley distribution. We derive moments and some basic properties for the new distribution. Moment estimators and maximum likelihood estimators are calculated using numerical procedures. We carry out a simulation study for the maximum likelihood estimators. A fit of the proposed model indicates good performance when compared with other less flexible models.

This article proposed a new extension of the Inverse Lindley distribution called “Lomax-Inverse Lindley distribution” which is more flexible compared to the Inverse Lindley distribution and other similar models. The paper derives and discusses some Statistical properties of the new distribution which include the limiting behavior, quantile function, reliability functions and distribution of order statistics. The parameters of the new model are estimated by method of maximum likelihood estimation. Conclusively, three lifetime datasets were used to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed model and the results indicate that the proposed extension is more flexible and performs better than the other distributions considered in this study.
