A very much revised version (2.0-10) of the mixreg (mixtures of
regressions) package has recently been installed on CRAN. The previously
existing version (0.0-6) was long overdue for an overhaul.
The new version now provides a formula oriented syntax for the
main function (mixreg()). An important addition is the function
visualFit() which allows the user to determine starting values by
visual/graphical means (in the case of models with a single predictor).
A vignette "mystMix" ("The Mysteries of Mixtures of
Regressions") has
been added to the package.
I am confident that this package will now be much more useful than
it was previously.
Enjoy! :-)
cheers,
Rolf Turner
