摘要
In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE's) of the parameters of a finite mixture of modified Weibull (MW(alpha,beta,gamma) distributions are obtained based on type-I and type-II censored samples using the EM algorithm. A simulation study is carried out to study the behavior of the mean squared errors. A real data set is introduced and analyzed using a mixture of two MW distributions and also using a mixture of two Weibull (alpha,beta) distributions. A comparison is carried out between the mentioned mixtures based on the corresponding Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test statistic to emphasize that the MW mixture model fits the data better than the other mixture model.
