AbstractThis note proposes a new model for summarising data on survival distribution. A simple graphical method (or equivalently a linear‐regression‐based method) for estimation of parameters is given. The model is shown to describe adequately data on Survivorship of Starling Birds reported by LACK (1943) and data on power generators reported by DHILLON (1981). A comment is added to illustrate how one can obtain a goodness of fit statistic which has a chi‐squared distributions.
