Iterative numerical methods are necessary t o find the maximum likelihood estimates for finite mixture distributions. This paper shows that it will often be possible to analytitally reduce the number of equations that must ultimately be solved numerically. Such a reduction in dimensionality has not
The S-distribution is a four-parameter distribution that is defined in terms of a differential equation, in which the cumulative is represented as the dependent variable: The article proposes a maximum likelihood estimator for the shape parameters of this distribution.
