This article studied the goodness-of-fit tests for the beta Gompertz
distribution with four parameters based on a complete sample. The parameters
were estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Critical values were found
by Monte Carlo simulation for the modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov,
Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, and Lilliefors test statistics. The
power of these test statistics founded the optimal alternative distribution.
Real data applications were used as examples for the goodness of fit tests.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
