## distributions.Mixture


A finite mixture of severities: component `i` with probability


Usage


``` python
distributions.Mixture()
```


`w_i`, such as attritional plus large losses.


## Parameters


`components: list of (float, severity)`  
Weights (positive, summing to 1) and severities.


## Examples

``` python
>>> from prospicio.distributions import Lognormal, Mixture, Pareto
>>> m = Mixture([(0.9, Lognormal.from_mean_cv(1e4, 1.0)), (0.1, Pareto(1e5, 2.0))])
>>> round(m.mean(), 6)
```
