Limiting behavior of mixtures of discrete lifetime distributions
研究了离散寿命分布混合的失效率极限行为,给出了充分条件,并探讨了其与老练试验的联系,同时分析了混合分布的平均剩余寿命极限。
In this article a mixture of discrete lifetime distributions is considered. Sufficient conditions are given for establishing results on the limiting behavior of the failure rate of the mixture. A connection between this limiting behavior and burn in is shown. The limiting behavior of the mean residual life of the mixture is also considered. The mixed Poisson, geometric, negative binomial, and Weibull distributions are discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
