Generalized mixtures of Weibull components
Abstract
Weibull mixtures have been used extensively in reliability and survival analysis, and they have also been generalized by allowing negative mixing weights, which arise naturally under the formation of some structures of reliability systems. These models provide flexible distributions for modeling dependent lifetimes from heterogeneous populations. In this paper, we study conditions on the mixing weights and the parameters of the Weibull …
