Abstract: In this paper, we propose a class of distributions with the inverse linear mean residual quantile function. The distributional properties of the family of distributions are studied. We then discuss the reliability characteristics of the family of distributions. Some characterizations of the class of distributions are also discussed. The parameters of the class of distributions are estimated using the method of L-moments. The proposed class of distributions is applied to a real data set.
