Abstract: Topp-Leone distribution is a continuous unimodal distribution with bounded support (recently rediscovered) which is useful for modelling life-time phenomena. In this paper we study some reliability measures of this distribution such as the hazard rate, mean residual life, reversed hazard rate, expected inactivity time, and their stochastic orderings.

Keywords: Expected inactivity time; hazard rate; mean residual life; reversed hazard rate; stochastic orders; Topp-Leone distribution (search for similar items in EconPapers)
