Template:Mixed weibull MLE

MLE
The same space of parameters, namely $$\widehat$$   $$\widehat,$$   $$\widehat,$$   $$\widehat\widehat,$$   $$\widehat,...,$$   $$\widehat{{{\rho }_{S,}}\text{ }}\widehat,$$   $$\widehat,$$  is also used under the MLE method, using the likelihood function as given in Appendix C of this reference. Weibull++ uses the EM algorithm, short for Expectation-Maximization algorithm, for the MLE analysis. Details on the numerical procedure are beyond the scope of this reference.
