%0 Journal Article %T A Comparison of Weibull and Gamma Distribution in Application of Sleep Apnea %A Nur Zakiah Mohd Saat %A Abdul Aziz Jemain %A Syed Hassan Ahmad Al-Mashoor %J Asian Journal of Mathematics & Statistics %D 2008 %I Asian Network for Scientific Information %X In this study we consider the ratio of the maximized likelihood and Vuong test in choosing between the two distributions. Values of the probability of correct selection are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. This method provides some basis for decision even when the sample size is small. The sleep apnea data has been analyzed. %K Gamma distribution %K Weibull distribution %K sleep apnea %K probability of correct selection %K Monte Carlo simulation %U http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/ajms/2008/132-138.pdf
