In this paper a failure model of the mixed Inverse Weibull distributions(MIWD) is considered and its estimators for all unknown parameters based on type-II and type-I censored data are obtained by means of ENI-Algorithm. Some simulations suggest that EM algorithm is effective to our model. Keywords mixed Inverse Weibull distribution, failure model, EM-algorithm, censored data., [section]1. Introduction Mixture models play a important role in many applicable fields, such as medicine, psychology research, cluster analysis, life testing and reliability analysis and so on. Mixture distributions have [...]
