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...

In this paper, we establish some recurrence relations for single and product moments of generalized order statistics from pth order exponential distribution. Further the results are deduced for the recurrence relations of record values and ordinary order statistics and using a recurrence relation for single moments we obtain characterization of pth order exponential distribution.

Recently it is observed that the generalized exponential distribution can be used quite effectively to analyze lifetime data in one dimension. The main aim of this paper is to define a bivariate generalized exponential distribution so that the marginals have generalized exponential distributions. It is observed that the joint probability density function, the joint cumulative distribution funct...
