Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of a class of inverse Lindley distributions called the generalized inverse Lindley power series (GILPS) distribution. This class of distributions is obtained by compounding the generalized class of inverse Lindley distributions with the power series family of distributions. The GILPS contains several lifetime subclasses such as inverse Lindley power series, two parameters inverse Lindley power series, and inverse power Lindley power series distributions. It can generate many statistical distributions such as the inverse power Lindley Poisson distribution, the inverse power Lindley geometric distribution, the inverse power Lindley logarithmic distribution, and the inverse power Lindley binomial distribution. The proposed class has flexibility in the sense that it can generate new lifetime distributions as well as some existing distributions. For the proposed class, several properties are derived such as hazard rate function, limiting behavior, quantile function, moments, moments generating function, and distributions of order statistics. The method of maximum likelihood estimation can be used to estimate the model parameters of this new class. A simulation for a selective model will be discussed. At the end, we will demonstrate applications of three real data sets to show the flexibility and potential of the new class of distributions.
