Abstract

As we all know that the modeling and analysis of lifetime data is very challenging due to stochastic nature of data. In this paper, a new one parameter lifetime distribution named Pratibha distribution has been suggested for modeling lifetime data. Its statistical properties, estimation of parameter and an application have been discussed. The goodness of fit of Pratibha distribution has been compared with one parameter exponential, Lindley, Garima, Komal, Akash, Sujatha and Shanker distributions and the fit shows quite satisfactory.
