Abstract :In this work, we introduce a new xgamma-Poisson lifetime model called the quasi xgamma- Poisson distribution. Some of its mathematical properties are derived. The proposed model can be motivated with a physical motivation by compounding the quasi xgamma construction with the truncated Poisson distribution. The quasi xgamma-Poisson model also motivated by the wide use of the xgamma distribution in many applied areas as well as for the fact that the new generalization provides more flexibility to analyze real data. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimation of the quasi xgamma-Poisson model parameters. An application to illustrate that the proposed quasi xgamma-Poisson model provides consistently better fit than the other competitive models.Keywords : Xgamma-Poisson life distributions, zero-truncated poisson distribution, maximum likelihood estimation, order statistics
