Abstract

Janardan Distribution is one of the important distributions from lifetime models and it has many applications in real life data. A size-biased form of the two parameter Janardan distribution has been introduced in this paper, of which the size-biased Lindley distribution is a special case. Its moments, median, skewness, kurtosis and Fisher index of dispersion are derived and compared with the size-biased Lindley distribution. The shape of the size-biased Janardan distribution is also discussed with graphs. The survival function and hazard rate of the size-biased Janardan distribution have been derived and it is concluded that the hazard rate of the distribution is monotonically increasing. The flexibility in the reliability measures of the size-biased Janardan distribution have been discussed by stochastic ordering. To estimate the parameters of the size-biased Janardan distribution maximum likelihood equations are developed.
