Abstract

This paper introduces a new extension of the Inverse Pareto distribution along with in the framework of Marshal-Olkin (1997) family of distributions. This model is capable of modeling various shapes of aging and failure criteria. The statistical properties of the new model are discussed and the maximum likelihood and maximum product spacing’s methods are used to estimate the parameters involved. Explicit expressions are derived for the moments and the order statistics are examined for the new proposed model. Finally, the usefulness of the new model for modeling reliability data is illustrated using two real data sets with simulation study.
