values show a negative exponential relationship and reach a plateau at
N ˆ = 300 (Fig. 4.6B, right; Table 4.2). On the other hand, NDSCV yields
N ˆ = 300 when n = 30 and 50 (Fig. 4.6C, tables 4.3 and 4.4).
Mixed Population of Lognormal, Weibull, and Pareto Populations
The LDSCV log-likelihood values do not show an N value when n = 30,
and therefore, N ˆ = 300 is assumed (Fig. 4.7, Table 4.1). On the other
