摘要
In this article, we present various distributional properties and application to reliability analysis of the Govindarajulu distribution. A quantile-based analysis is performed as the distribution function is not analytically tractable. The properties of the distribution like percentiles, L-moments, L-skewness, and kurtosis and order statistics are presented. Various reliability characteristics are derived along with some characterization theorems by relationship between reliability measures. We also make a comparative study with other competing models with reference to real data.
