Generalized Lindley Probability Distribution Up to Five Parameters
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Probability & Statistics
Abstract
In this paper, we extend the Alpha Power Transformed Lindley (APT Lindley) distribution model by introducing an additional parameter. This new model represents a distribution that significantly enhances flexibility to express real-life phenomena. The probability density function, cumulative distribution function, hazard function and survival function are derived and discussed. We also explore characteristics such as moments, moment-generating functions and quantile functions. The maximum likelihood estimation method is employed for parameter estimation of the model. This newly proposed distribution is well-suited for real-world (non-fictional) datasets and reveals interesting properties due to the flexible nature of its hazard function. It presents a promising alternative in statistical and probability theory particularly for applications in health, engineering and economics.
