An Algorithm for Fitting Mixtures of Gompertz Distributions to Censored Survival Data
We consider the fitting of a mixture of two Gompertz distributions to censored survival data. This model is therefore applicable where there are two distinct causes for failure that act in a mutually exclusive manner, and the baseline failure time for each cause follows a Gompertz distribution.
