A Mixture of Two Burr Type III Distributions: Identifiability and Estimation under Type II Censoring

الملخص EN

The mixture of two Burr Type III distributions (MTBIIID) is investigated.

First, the identifiability property of the MTBIIID is proved.

Then, two different methods of estimation are used.

Next, the estimates of the unknown five parameters and reliability function of the MTBIIID under Type II censoring are obtained.

To study the performance of the estimation technique in the paper, a Monte Carlo simulation is presented.

In addition, the numerical illustration requires solving nonlinear equations; therefore, the software international mathematical statistical library (IMSL) is used to assess these effects numerically.

Finally, a real data set is applied to illustrate the methods proposed here.
