Abstract

In this study, a five-parameter distribution so-called the kumaraswamy Generalized power Lindley is defined and studied. The new distribution contains, as special sub models, several important distributions, such as the kumaraswamy generalized Lindley, kumaraswamy Lindley, generalized Lindley. We derive the moments moment generating function, conditional moment and mean residual lifetime are derived. We propose the method of maximum likelihood for estimating the model parameters. Finally, real data examples are discussed to illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed distribution.
