Double compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) found in binaries with small orbital separations are known to spiral in and are expected to coalesce eventually because of the emission of gravitational waves. Such inspiral and merger events are thought to be primary sources for ground based gravitational- wave interferometric detectors (such as LIGO). In this article, I present a brief review of estimates of coalescence rates and I examine the origin and relative importance of uncertainties associated with the rate estimates. The implications of these estimates for gravitational wave detection are also discussed.
