| ''Identifying finite mixture models in the presence of moment-generating function: application in medical care using a zero-inflated binomial model'' |

| This study presents a simple method to identify the parameters in finite mixture models when a moment-generating function (MGF) is present.
We obtain the model conditions using a zero-inflated binomial model, a simple form of the finite mixture binary model, and analyze the results using the Monte Carlo simulation.
Using the zero-inflated and standard binomial models, we compare the marginal effects of health care usage.
