Abstract:

In this paper, we discuss the maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators for the three parameters of Generalized Gompertz distribution based on Type-II censored samples. However, the Bayes estimators are studied under three different types of loss function; squared error, Linear-exponential and general entropy loss functions. Two methods are used for computing the Bayes estimates; standard Bayes and importance sampling. The performances of the estimates are compared through the mean square error by Monte Carlo simulation study.
