expmixdist

Matlab functions to fit parameters for a mixture of exponential distribution

Introduction

Matlab has some good functions for dealing with exponential distributions, e.g. expfit. These functions extend this support to fit distributions that are mixtures of exponential components.

Getting started

Run the getting started script for an example of usage.

Fitting an exponential mixture distribution

[ taushat, weightshat ] = emdistfit(wait_times, tau_guess, weight_guess);

Plotting a histogram and the fitted pdf

emhist(wait_times, taushat, weightshat)
