Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a new three-parameter model based on the zero truncated Poisson lifetime model. The new model has a strong physical motivation. We provide a comprehensive treatment of its statistical properties including ordinary and incomplete moments, generating functions and order statistics. The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the model parameters. We prove empirically the importance and flexibility of the new model in modeling two types of lifetime data.
