摘要:This paper introduces the beta linear failure rate geometric (BLFRG) distribution,which contains a number of distributions including the exponentiated linear failure rategeometric, linear failure rate geometric, linear failure rate, exponential geometric, Rayleighgeometric, Rayleigh and exponential distributions as special cases. The model furthergeneralizes the linear failure rate distribution. A comprehensive investigation of the modelproperties including moments, conditional moments, deviations, Lorenz and Bonferroni curvesand entropy are presented. Estimates of model parameters are given. Real data examples arepresented to illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the distribution.
