Abstract

Mixed exponential distributions play an important role in life time data analysis, but if we use traditional statistical methods to estimate the parameters in the model, it will be very difficult, however we apply the generalized expectation maximization (GEM) algorithm, namely expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm, to estimate the parameters of the model, it will greatly simplify the complexity of the calculation. In this paper, we study the parameter estimation problem in complete data situation, and give Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which results show that the algorithm based on ECM to estimate the parameters of the mixed exponential distribution is very effective.
