Abstract

An extended Suja distribution, of which one parameter Suja distribution is a particular case, has been proposed. Important statistical properties of the proposed distribution based on moments, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviations, Renyi entropy measures, and stress-strength reliability have been derived and studied. The method of moments and the method of maximum likelihood for estimating parameters have been discussed. A simulation study has been presented to know the performance of maximum likelihood estimates. Applications and goodness of fit of the proposed distribution with two real datasets have been presented
