A Discrete Lindley Distribution with Applications in Biological Sciences
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the last few decades many papers appeared in the statistical literature on the discretization of continuous distributions. The main reasons for discretizing a continuous distributions are two fold, namely, (i) the discrete analogue of a continuous distribution provide probability mass function (pmf) that can compete with the classical discrete distributions commonly used in the statistical analysis of count data and (ii) the discrete analogue of a continuous distribution avoids the use of a continuous distribution in the case of strictly discrete data.

The Exponentiated Poisson-Lindley Distribution; Features and Applications in Reliability
Abstract. In this paper a new three-parameter lifetime distribution named “the Exponentialed Lindley-Poisson (E-LP) distribution” has been suggested that it has an increasing, decreasing and invers bathtube hazard rate depending on the parameter values. The (E-LP) distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modeling, reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biological ...

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...

Estimation of statistical distribution parameter is one of the important subject of statistical inference. Due to the applications of Lomax distribution in business, economy, statistical science, queue theory, internet traffic modeling and so on, in this paper, the parameters of Lomax distribution under type II censored samples using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are estimated. Wherea...
متن کاملOn Zero-Truncation of Poisson, Poisson-Lindley and Poisson-Sujatha Distributions and their Applications
Detailed study of Lindley distribution (1.3) has been done by Ghitany et al. [4] and shown that (1.3) is a better model than exponential distribution for modeling some lifetime data. Recently, Shanker et al. [5] showed that (1.3) is not always a better model than the exponential distribution for modeling lifetime’s data. In fact, Shanker et al. [5] has done a very extensive and comparative stud...
