A Note on the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for the Mixture of Maxwell Distributions Using Type-I Censored Scheme

ABSTRACT

This article focuses on the study of mixture density under Type I censoring scheme by taking Maxwell distribution as a life time model. In this paper we sculpt a heterogeneous population by means of two components mixture of the Maxwell distribution. We derive the maximum likelihood estimators using type-I censored data and also their variances matrix. The problem with ML estimators is discussed. The Maple 13.0 code is also presented in appendix.
