Parameter Estimation of the Mixed Generalized Gamma Distribution Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Minimum Distance Estimation

<p>This research studied parameter estimation of the special cases of the Mixed Generalized Gamma Distribution and built upon them until the full nine-parameter distribution was being estimated. First special cases of a single Generalized Gamma Distribution were estimated. Next mixtures of Exponential distributions with both known and unknown location parameters were estimated. Next mixtures of Weibull distributions with both known and unknown location parameters were estimated. Lastly the full nine-parameter Mixed Generalized Gamma Distribution was estimated.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
