摘要:In demography, Gompertz and Makeham models have significant role in modeling andin analysis of mortality and ageing. Till the end ofthe20th century, researchers have used thetables of mortalities(also calledlife tables)fordemographic analysis but in the end ofthe20thcentury dueto the development in statistical methods of survival analysis and reliability one cantreat the individuals data even with the information of censoring. The Gompertz, Makeham, andWeibull models are compared with respect to the goodness-of-fit to the table of mortalityand tothe individuals data in the presence of censoring. For data from the table of mortality, the teststatistic considered by Gerville-Reache and Nikulin (2000) is used. For censored individual datathe chi-squared type test proposed by Bagdonavicius et al. (2010) is used
