René Ferland, Sorana Froda, Jean R. Lavigne · Lecture notes-monograph series · 2003

In this paper we introduce a minimum distance estimator of the weights in a finite mixture when the data are censored.Our estimator is a natural extension of the estimator of Choi and Bulgren (1968).In order to check the robustness of this minimum distance estimator we perform a simulation study.
