Abstract
Abstr act: This article is cons idered with the problem of es timating the parameters, reliability and failure rate functions of the finite mixture of two components from exp o nentiated gamma distributions. The maximum likelihood and Bayes methods of estimation are used. An approximatio n fo rm due to Lindley (1980) is us ed for obtaining the Bayes es timates under the squared e rro r los s and LINEX los s functions . Comparisons are mad e b e twe e n thes e es timators and the maximum likelihood ones us ing Monte Carlo simulation study.
