The Power Inverse Lindley Distribution
  Several probability distributions have been proposed in the literature, especially with the aim of obtaining models that are more flexible relative to the behaviors of the density and hazard rate functions. Recently, a new generalization of the Lindley distribution was proposed by Ghitany et al. (2013), called power Lindley distribution. Another generaliza- tion was proposed by Sharma et al. (2015), known as inverse Lindley distribution. In this paper, a new distribution is proposed, which is obtained from these two generalizations and named power inverse Lindley distribution. Some properties of this new distribution and study of the behavior of maximum likelihood estimators are presented and discussed. It is also applied considering real data and compared with the fits obtained for already- known distributions. When applied, the power inverse Lindley distribution was found to be a good alternative for modeling survival data.
