摘要:This paper presents a new generalization of the extended Gompertz distribution. We defined the so-called exponentiated generalized extended Gompertz distribution, which has at least three important advantages: (i) Includes the exponential, Gompertz, extended exponential and extended Gompertz distributions as special cases; (ii) adds two parameters to the base distribution, but does not use any complicated functions to that end; and (iii) its hazard function includes inverted bathtub and bathtub shapes, which are particularly important because of its broad applicability in real-life situations. The work derives several mathematical properties for the new model and discusses a maximum likelihood estimation method. For the main formulas related to our model, we present numerical studies that demonstrate the practicality of computational implementation using statistical software. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for the EGEG model. Three real- world data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the usefulness of our proposal..
