ab: Summary: The finite mixture of Burr type XII distributions with its
    reciprocal, is proposed as a failure model. The failure rate (FR) of
    the new model covers several types of failure rates. It is shown that
    depending on the parameter values, the model is capable of covering
    different combinations of failure rates. A study of the behavior of the
    FR curve of the model is made.
