Distributions of gompertz spacings and their moments

Abstract EN

This paper considers the distributions of spacings between successive order statistics corresponding to a random sample from a two-parameter Gompertz distribution.

Closed-form formulas for the probability density functions of the spac- ings and their moments are given in terms of the integro-exponential function and the Meijer G-function.

Then a recursive identity for the moments of the Gompertz spacings is also derived.
