摘要

We introduce a new generalization of the exponentiated power Lindley distribution, called the exponentiated power Lindley power series (EPLPS) distribution. The new distribution arises on a latent complementary risks scenario, in which the lifetime associated with a particular risk is not observable; rather, we observe only the maximum lifetime value among all risks. The distribution exhibits decreasing, increasing, unimodal and bathtub shaped hazard rate functions, depending on its parameters. Several properties of the EPLPS distribution are investigated. Moreover, we discuss maximum likelihood estimation and provide formulas for the elements of the Fisher information matrix. Finally, applications to three real data sets show the flexibility and potentiality of the EPLPS distribution.
