Abstract

In this article, we unravel an extension of shifted version of Lindley distribution, termed as extended generalized shifted Lindley (EGSL) distribution. Stochastic ordering, moment generating function, reliability characteristics and other relevant properties are studied for this distribution. To estimate the parameters involved, method of maximum likelihood is performed. A detailed simulation study for several choices of parameters is executed as well. Finally, as a comparative exploration, possible fitting of the proposed distribution to a real data along with model fitting by other competent distributions is documented through the aid of a few model checking criteria.
