Abstract

A two-parameter generalization of Sujatha distribution (AGSD), which includes Lindley distribution and Sujatha distribution as particular cases, has been proposed. It's important mathematical and statistical properties including its shape for varying values of parameters, moments, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and stress-strength reliability have been discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation method has been discussed for estimating its parameters. AGSD provides better fit than Sujatha, Aradhana, Lindley and exponential distributions for modeling real lifetime data.
