✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we have proved uniqueness theorems for estimation of age-dependent parameter c~ in Gompertz survival model, in the absence of age specific mortality data. We obtained estimations with population size N dependent and uniformly in N (where 1/N = exp[(A/c~)(1eats)I, A is age-independent parameter and tm is maximum lifespan).
