A New Hybrid Algorithm Based on the Firefly Algorithm and Cuckoo Search to Estimate Survival Analysis of Truncated Inverse Gompertz Distribution

This paper introduces the Right Truncated Inverse Gompertz Distribution (RTIGD) with two parameters δ and ϑ with some of its properties as; (Survival-Function, Hazard-Function, cumulative distribution function, probability density function, ‎r-th moment, mean, variance, Moment Generating Function, Median, and Mode. In addition, we propose a new hybrid algorithm, namely the firefly Algorithm with Cuckoo Search Algorithm (FA_CSA) to estimate the parameters based on the survival functions of RTIGD. Simulation is utilized to compare the proposed algorithm with traditional methods, for example, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator and moment method and the standard algorithms Firefly Algorithm and Cuckoo Search. In most cases, the results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm (FA_CSA) provides an accurate estimation for the survival function since it has less mean squared error than the other estimation methods.
