Abstract
In this study the properties of the compound Gompertz distribution have been studied. Parameters have been estimated for non-censored, for singly censored and for progressively censored data. The distribution has been applied to a set of data previously modelled using the Gamma distribution. It was found that the compound Gompertz gives a better fit.
