Abstract
In this paper, a new class of lifetime distribution, which is called Topp–Leone (J-shaped) geometric distribution, is obtained by compound of the Topp–Leone and geometric distributions. Reliability and statistical properties of the new distribution such as quantiles, moment, hazard rate, reversed hazard rate, mean residual life, mean inactivity time, entropies, moment generating function, order statistics and their stochastic orderings are obtained. Estimation of the model parameters by least squares, weighted least squares, maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix are derived. Finally, a real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.
