Abstract

This paper considers the problem of estimating parameters of a mixture distribution (Rectangular/Exponential) using the method of moments, their functions and ratios mainly by simulation. Estimated the values of parameters, for the case (1) ‘ p ’ unknown, (2) ‘ p ’ is known and are presented in tables and graphs. As sample size ‘m’ increases the proportion of acceptable sample estimates are also increases. However, it is possible that a sample gives estimates which are not in the acceptable range (negative, complex, p >1 or p < 0 ).
