abstract

  • The Gompertz distribution has been used to model human mortality and fit actuarial tables. In the recent years, this distribution has been studied by some authors. The MLE estimates for the parameters of the Gompertz distribution were disucssed by GARG, RAO and REDMOND (1970). The purpose of this paper is to develop an exact confidence interval and an exact joint confidence region for the parameters of the Gompertz distribution.
