Estimating mixtures of exponential distributions using maximum likelihood and the EM algorithm to improve simulation of telecommunications networks
This thesis explores the topic of mixture-distributions as they relate to modeling call demand on a telecommunications network. Modeling call duration demand in particular proves difficult for a number of reasons. Historically, this has been modeled using a simple exponential distribution with a...
