%0 Journal Article %T Normal¨CPoisson distribution as a lifetime of a series system %A Eisa Mahmoudi %A Fatemeh Esfandiari %A Hamed Mahmoodian %J - %D 2018 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2179460X29285 %X In this paper, we introduce a new three parameter skewed distribution. This new class which is obtained by compounding the normal and Poisson distributions, is presented as an alternative to the class of skew-normal and normal distributions, among others. Different properties of this new distribution have been investigated. The density and distribution functions of proposed distribution, are given by a closed expression which allows us to easily compute probabilities, moments and related measurements. Estimation of the parameters of this new model using maximum likelihood method via an EM-algorithm is given. Finally, some applications of this new distribution to real data are given %K Normal distribution %K Poisson distribution %K EM-algorithm %K Maximum likelihood estimation %U https://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaenatura/article/view/29285
