Dear All, I hope the title speaks by itself. I believe that there should be a solution when I see what Mclust is able to do. However, this problem is quite particular in that d3 is not known and does not necessarily correspond to a common distribution (e.g. normal, exponential ...). However it must look like dmix and d1 to some extent. To illustrate my problem I worked out a simple example:

This is an example from chapter 11 of the 6th edition of Devore's engineering statistics text. It happens to be a balanced data set in two factors but the calculations will also work for unbalanced data. I create a factor called 'cell' from the text representation of the Variety level and the Density level using '/' as the separator character. The coefficients for the linear
