This paper proposes an Inverse two-parameter Lindley distribution (ITPLD). This is originated from Lindley distribution and two-parameter Lindley distribution. Its mathematical and statistical properties which includes its survival function, hazard rate function, shape characteristics of the density, stochastic ordering, entropy measure, and stress-strength reliability were discussed. The estimation of parameters was carried out using the method of maximum likelihood. Also, in the application of the model, HQIC, BIC, CAIC, AIC, and K.S are used to test for the goodness of fit of the model which was applied to two real data sets. The Inverse two-parameter Lindley distribution was compared with Inverse Lindley, Inverse Akash, and Inverse Exponential distributions in order to determine its superiority.
