Application of a mixture model to approximate bottled water consumption distribution

Author

  • Seung-Hoon Yoo

Abstract

Approximating bottled water consumption (BWC) distribution is complicated by zero observations in the sample. To deal with the zero observations, a mixture model of BWC distributions is considered to allow a point mass at zero. The model is empirically verified for household BWC survey data.
