In probability and statistics, the Gamma/Gompertz distribution is a continuous probability distribution. It has been used as an aggregate-level model of customer lifetime and a model of mortality risks.

Specification

Probability density function

The probability density function of the Gamma/Gompertz distribution is:

f(x;b,s,\beta) = \frac{bse^{bx}\beta^{s}}{\left(\beta-1+e^{bx}\right)^{s+1}}

where b > 0 is the scale parameter and \beta, s > 0\,\! are the shape parameters of the Gamma/Gompertz distribution.

Cumulative distribution function

The cumulative distribution function of the Gamma/Gompertz distribution is:

\begin{align}F(x;b,s,\beta)& = 1 - \frac{\beta^s}{\left(\beta-1+e^{bx}\right)^s}, {\ }x>0, {\ } b,s,\beta>0 \\[6pt]
& = 1-e^{-bsx}, {\ }\beta=1\\\end{align}

Moment generating function

The moment generating function is given by:

\begin{align}
\text{E}(e^{-tx})=
\begin{cases}\displaystyle
\beta^s \frac{sb}{t+sb}{\ } {_2\text{F}_1}(s+1,(t/b)+s;(t/b)+s+1;1-\beta), & \beta \ne 1; \\
\displaystyle
\frac{sb}{t+sb},& \beta =1.
\end{cases}
\end{align}

where  {_2\text{F}_1}(a,b;c;z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty[(a)_k(b)_k/(c)_k]z^k/k! is a Hypergeometric function.

Properties

The Gamma/Gompertz distribution is a flexible distribution that can be skewed to the right or to the left.
