Abstract

In this article we investigate the parameter estimation of the Negative Binomial—New Weighted Lindley distribution. We are interested in the maximum likelihood method because it provides estimators with many superior properties, such as minimum variance and asymptotically unbiased estimators. The simulation study is performed in order to investigate the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the Negative Binomial—New Weighted Lindley distribution.
