Abstract

The problem of estimation of parameters of a mixture of degenerate (at zero) and exponential distribution is considered by Jayade and Prasad (1990). The sampling scheme proposed in it is extended in this paper to a mixture of degenerate and Inverse Gaussian distribution. The Inverse Gaussian distribution is very relevant for studying reliability and life-testing problems. The inverse Gaussian being the first passage time distribution for Wiener process makes it particularly appropriate for failure or reaction time data analysis.
