Abstract

This work introduces and studies a new probability distribution called “Transmuted Power Gompertz distribution”. The work studied the properties of the new model. The estimates of the four parameters model were carried out using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The work further evaluates the goodness-of-fit of the proposed distribution compared to other distributions by means of applications of the model to two real life datasets and the result show that the proposed distribution is more flexible than the fitted existing distributions.
