Modeling Heterogeneous Survival Data Using Mixture of Extended Exponential-Geometric Distributions
Ülkü ERİŞOĞLU, Hamza Erol · Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation · 2010
In this article, we propose a mixture of extended exponential-geometric distributions to model heterogeneous survival data. Various properties of the proposed mixture of extended exponential-geometric distributions are discussed. Maximum likelihood estimations of the parameters are obtained by using the EM algorithm. Illustrative examples based on real data are also given.
