A new parameter estimation method for the extended power Lindley distribution based on order statistics, with application

Abstract

In this paper, we propose inference procedures for the estimation of parameters by using or der statistics. First, we derive some new expressions for single and product moments of the order statistics from the extended power Lindley distribution. We then use these moments to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates (BLUEs) of the location and scale parameters based on Type-II right-censored samples. A real data set is analysed to illustrate the flexibility and importance of the model.
