ABSTRACT

Mixture distributions have received considerable attention in life applications. This paper presents a finite Laplace mixture model with two components. We discuss the model properties and derive the parameters estimations using the method of moments and maximum likelihood estimation. We study the relationship between the parameters and the shape of the proposed distribution. The simulation study discusses the effectiveness of parameters estimations of Laplace mixture distribution.
