Mixture Mixture In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions and colloids. Mixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup. Despite that there are no chemical changes to its constituents, the physical properties of a mixture, such
Phase-type distribution (the non-homogeneous case). The mixture of two Erlang distribution with parameter "E"(3,β), "E"(3,β) and (α,α) (such that α + α = 1 and for each "i", α ≥ 0) can be represented as a phase type distribution with and The Coxian distribution is a generalisation of the hypoexponential distribution. Instead of only being able to enter the absorbing state from state "k" it can be reached from any phase. The phase-type representation is given by, and where 0 < "p"...,"p" ≤ 1. In the case where all "p" = 1 we have the hypoexponential distribution. The Coxian distribution is extremely
