The '''shifted Gompertz distribution''' is the distribution of the largest of two independent [[random variable]]s one of which has an [[exponential distribution]] with parameter b and the other has a [[Gumbel distribution]] with parameters <math>\eta</math> and b. In its original formulation the distribution was expressed referring to the Gompertz distribution instead of the Gumbel distribution but, since the Gompertz distribution is a reverted Gumbel distribution ([[truncated distribution|truncated]] at zero), the labelling can be considered as accurate. It has been used as a model of [[Diffusion of innovations|adoption of innovations]]. It was proposed by Bemmaor (1994).


== Specification ==
* In a mixture of [[ideal gas]]es, ''total pressure'' refers to the sum of each gas' [[partial pressure]].
===Probability density function===


The [[probability density function]] of the shifted Gompertz distribution is:
[[Category:Pressure]]
 
[[Category:Fluid dynamics]]
:<math> f(x;b,\eta) = b e^{-bx} e^{-\eta e^{-bx}}\left[1 + \eta\left(1 - e^{-bx}\right)\right] \text{ for }x \geq 0. \,</math>
[[Category:Gases]]
 
 
where <math>b > 0</math> is the [[scale parameter]] and <math>\eta > 0</math> is the [[shape parameter]] of the shifted Gompertz distribution.
 
===Cumulative distribution function===
 
The [[cumulative distribution function]] of the shifted Gompertz distribution is:
 
:<math> F(x;b,\eta) = \left(1 - e^{-bx}\right)e^{-\eta e^{-bx}} \text{ for }x \geq 0. \,</math>
 
 
== Properties ==
The shifted Gompertz distribution is right-skewed for all values of <math>\eta</math>. It is more flexible than the [[Gumbel distribution]].
 
===Shapes===
The shifted Gompertz density function can take on different shapes depending on the values of the shape parameter <math>\eta</math>:
* <math>0 < \eta \leq 0.5\,</math> the probability density function has its mode at 0.
* <math>\eta > 0.5\,</math> the probability density function has its mode at
::<math>\text{mode}=-\frac{\ln(z^\star)}{b}\, \qquad 0 < z^\star < 1</math>
:where <math>z^\star\,</math> is the smallest root of
::<math>\eta^2z^2 - \eta(3 + \eta)z + \eta + 1 = 0\,,</math>
:which is
::<math>z^\star = [3 + \eta - (\eta^2 + 2\eta + 5)^{1/2}]/(2\eta).</math>
 
== Related distributions ==
If <math>\eta</math> varies according to a [[gamma distribution]] with shape parameter <math>\alpha</math> and scale parameter <math>\beta</math> (mean = <math>\alpha\beta</math>), the distribution of <math>x</math> is Gamma/Shifted Gompertz (G/SG). When <math>\alpha</math> is equal to one, the G/SG reduces to the [[Bass model]].

In physics, the term total pressure may indicate two different quantities, both having the dimensions of a pressure:

where ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the local acceleration due to gravity, and z is the height above a datum.
If the variation in height above the datum is zero, or so small it can be ignored, the above equation reduces to the following simplified form:
