Finite mixture of exponential model and its applications to renewal and reliability theory. (English) Zbl 05902622
Summary: We study the properties of finite mixture of exponential model in the context of renewal theory. We obtain a generalized mixture of gamma distributions in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function, as the waiting time distribution. We present various applications of the model to reliability.
