A Modification of the Gompertz Distribution Based on the Class of Extended-Weibull Distributions

This paper introduces a new four-parameter extension of the generalized Gompertz distributions. This distribution involves somewell-knowndistributions such as extension of generalized exponential, generalized exponential, and generalizedGompertz distributions. In addition, it can have a decreasing, increasing, upside-down bathtub, and bathtub-shaped hazard rate function depending on its parameters. Some mathematical properties of this new distribution, such as moments, quantiles, hazard rate function, and reversible hazard rate function are obtained. In addition, the density function and the moments of the ordered statistics of this new distribution is provided. The parameters of model are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Also, a real data set was used to illustrate the validity of the proposed distribution.
