A Lindley-Type Distribution for Modeling High-Kurtosis Data

A Lindley-Type Distribution for Modeling High-Kurtosis Data

This article proposes a heavy-tailed distribution for modeling positive data. The proposal arises with the ratio of independent random variables, specifically, a Lindley distribution divided by a beta distribution. This leads to a three-parameter extension of the Lindley distribution capable of mode...
