A novel bounded gamma–gompertz distribution shows improved fitting in financial modeling applications, indicating better performance than heavy-tailed distributions.
A novel statistical model, the Bounded Gamma–Gompertz Distribution (BGGD), is presented alongside a full characterization of its properties. Our investigation identifies maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) as the most effective fitting procedure, proving it to be more consistent and efficient than alternative approaches like L-moments and Bayesian estimation. Empirical validation on Tesla (TSLA) financial records—spanning open, high, low, close prices, and trading volume—showcased the BGGD’s superior performance. It delivered a better fit than several competing heavy-tailed distributions, including Student-t, Log-Normal, Lévy, and Pareto, as indicated by minimized AIC and BIC statistics. The results substantiate the distribution’s robustness in capturing extreme-value behavior, positioning it as a potent tool for financial modeling applications.
