A mixture distribution involving two two-parameter Weibull distributions is characterized by five parameters. The shape of the failure rate function for the mixture depends on the parameter values and can be one of eight distinct shapes. In this paper we present a complete parametric characterizatio
Newton-Raphson's method plays a fundamental role in the maximum likelihood estimation of the two parameters of the Weibull probability distribution. It is well known that the method depends on the initial point of the iterative process and the iteration does not always converge. In the present art
