Profile Likelihood Estimation of the Vulnerability P(X\textgreater v) and the Mixing Proportion p Parameters in the Gumbel Mixture Model

This paper concerns to the problem of making inferences about the vulnerability θ=P(X\textgreater v) and the mixing proportion p parameters, when the random variable X is distributed as a mixture of two Gumbel distributions and v is a known fixed value. A profile likelihood approach is proposed for...
