In this article, we generalize the Lindley distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map studied by Shaw et al. [8] to develop a transmuted Lindley distribution. We provide a comprehensive description of the mathematical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliability behavior. The usefulness of the transmuted Lindley distribution for modeling reliability data is illustrated using real data.
