The Use of Moment Estimators for Mixtures of Two Binomials with One Known Success Parameter.

Van Der Linden, Wim J.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v43 n2 p321-30 Sum 1983

This paper focuses on mixtures of two binomials with one known success parameter. It is shown how moment estimators can be obtained for the remaining unknown parameters of such mixtures, and results are presented from a Monte Carlo study carried out to explore the statistical properties of these estimators.
