摘要：In this study, a new one-parameter count distribution is proposed by combining Poisson and XLindley distributions. Some of its statistical and reliability properties including order statistics, hazard rate function, reversed hazard rate function, mode, factorial moments, probability generating function, moment generating function, index of dispersion, Shannon entropy, Mills ratio, mean residual life function, and associated measures are investigated. All these properties can be expressed in explicit forms. It is found that the new probability mass function can be utilized to model positively skewed data with leptokurtic shape. Moreover, the new discrete distribution is considered a proper tool to model equi- and over-dispersed phenomena with increasing hazard rate function. The distribution parameter is estimated by different six estimation approaches, and the behavior of these methods is explored using the Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, two applications to real life are presented herein to illustrate the flexibility of the new model.
