- Description
- This article investigates the potential usefulness of the transmuted Gompertz distribution for modeling lifetime data. This distribution can be obtained by using the quadratic rank transmutation map scheme. Various structural properties of the transmuted Gompertz model are investigated including estimation of the parameters using maximum likelihood and evaluate the performance of MLE using simulation. The potential usefulness of the transmuted Gompertz model is shown by means of windshields data.
