I have a failure time data that appears to be a mix of Normal and Exponential.
>From engineering considerations, it is a competing failure modes problem.
I would like to model it a mix of Normal and Exponential. The problem is
similar to the 22 Mar 1999 post from Natasha Stout but I could find no replies
to Natasha's post.
The most intuitive Bugs code would be
t ~ p*dnorm(mu,tau ) + (1-p)*dexp( lambda)
Of course, that doesn't work.
I would like to avoid the 'ones' trick if possible.
Thanking all in advance...
