Rayleigh Mixture Distribution

This paper presents Rayleigh mixtures of distributions in which the weight functions are assumed to be chi-square, 𝑡 and 𝐹 sampling distributions. The exact probability density functions of the mixture of two correlated Rayleigh random variables have been derived. Different moments, characteristic f...
