Description
Summary:In this paper, we introduce a new class of lifetime distributions which is called the Quasi Lindley Geometric (QLG) distribution. This distribution obtained by compounding the Quasi Lindley and geometric distributions. Some structural properties of the proposed new distribution are discussed, including probability density function and explicit algebraic formulas for its survival and hazard functions, moment , moment generating function and mean deviations. We propose the method of maximum likelihood for estimating the model parameters and obtain the observed information matrix. A real data set is used to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the new distribution.
