Dear R users, I would like to know wether there exists a package or routine within the R environment which allows to test for multiple Gaussians in a given distribution: I have a histogram of some variable which seems to be tri - or at least bimodal, so I would like to test if this is significant to some level and/or estimate the underlying possible distributions. Thank you very much, Yours sincerely Philip
You might take a look at mclust downloadable from CRAN.
