The Mixed Weibull Distribution

Besides the Weibull, exponential, normal and lognormal, there are other distributions that are used to model reliability and life data. However, these four represent the most prominent distributions in Weibull++. In this chapter, we will discuss other distributions that are used under special circumstances: the mixed Weibull, the generalized gamma, the Gumbel, the logistic and the loglogistic distributions. In this section, we will introduce mixed Weibull distribution. Other distributions will be discussed in later Chapters.
