A COMPARISON OF ESTIMATION METHODS FOR ONE PARAMETER INVERSE GOMPERTZ DISTRIBUTION
Keyword(s):
In this paper, we compare the methods of estimation for one parameter lifetime distribution, which is a special case of inverse Gompertz distribution. We discuss five different estimation methods such as maximum likelihood method, least-squares method, weighted least-squares method, the method of Anderson-Darling, and the method of Crámer–von Mises. It is evaluated the performances of these estimators via Monte Carlo simulations according to the bias and mean-squared error. Furthermore, two real data applications are performed.
