    Abstract: In this paper, we consider power odd generalized exponential-Gompertz (POGE-G) distribution which is capable of life tables to calculate death rates (failure). Based on simulated data from the PPOGE-G distribution, we consider the problem of estimation of parameters under classical approaches and Bayesian approaches. In this regard, we obtain maxim...
