Generalizations make a distribution more flexible especially for studying the tail properties. There exist many generalized family of continuous univariate distributions. In this article, a survey on Lindley distribution, its extensions and classes is conducted. Several available generalizations of the distribution are reviewed and recent trends in the construction of generalized classes are discussed.

This paper studies properties and applications of the generalized Rayleigh-truncated negative binomial distribution established by Jiju & Lishamol. 1 For the concerned objective, we applied the model to a real life data set and its performance is compared with that of other four-parameter generalized Rayleigh distributions which are derived using different generators.
