Abstract
In this paper, we look at three models (mixture, competing risk and multipl icative) involving two inverse Weibull distributions. We study the shapes o f the density and failure-rate functions and discuss graphical methods to d etermine if a given data set can be modelled by one of these models. (C) 20 01 Elsevier Science Ltd.
