On Modeling Of Lifetime Data Using Three-Parameter Generalized Lindley and Generalized Gamma Distributions

An Extended Generalized Lindley Distribution and Its Applications to Lifetime Data

In this paper, a four parameters extension of the generalized Lindley distribution is introduced. The new distribution includes the power Lindley, Lindley, generalized (Stacy) gamma, gamma, Weibull, Rayleigh, exponential and half-normal distribution. Several statistical properties of the distribution are explored. Then, a bivariate version of the proposed distribution is derived. Using a simula...

On Generalized Gamma Convolution Distributions

We present here characterizations of certain families of generalized gamma convolution distributions of L. Bondesson based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments. We also present a list of well-known random variables whose distributions or the distributions of certain functions of them belong to the class of generalized gamma convolutions.

Generalized Measures of Divergence for Lifetime Distributions

Measures of divergence or discrepancy are used either to measure mutual information concerning two variables or to construct model selection criteria. In this paper we are focusing on divergence measures that are based on a class of measures known as Csiszar’s divergence measures. In particular, we propose a measure of divergence between residual lives of two items that have both survived up to...

A new generalized Lindley distribution

In this paper, we present a new class of distributions called New Generalized Lindley Distribution(NGLD). This class of distributions contains several distributions such as gamma, exponential and Lindley as special cases. The hazard function, reverse hazard function, moments and moment generating function and inequality measures are are obtained. Moreover, we discuss the maximum likelihood esti...
