I believe the message below on the R-package-devel list is due to a bug in R-devel. The bug doesn't seem to be present in R 4.0.3. Here's the issue: The Mercator package Depends on Thresher, which Imports movMF, which Suggests flexmix. In the .onLoad code for movMF, it checks whether flexmix is available, and if so, loads it. Since flexmix sets a method on plot(), its namespace is referred to from the plot() method table. During R CMD check --as-cran Mercator.0.11.4, in the step * checking whether package ?Mercator? can be...

Dear list, I have been comparing the outputs of two packages for latent class regression, namely 'flexmix', and 'mmlcr'. What I have noticed is that the flexmix package appears to come up with a much better fit than the mmlcr package (based on logLik, AIC, BIC, and visual inspection). Has anyone else observed such behaviour? Has anyone else been successful in using the mmlcr package? I ask...

Hi, I was going through the examples in smartpred. It seems there's an unstated dependency on the fitted() function in package flexmix. n = 20 set.seed(86) x = sort(runif(n)) y = sort(runif(n)) library(splines) fit = lm(y ~ ns(x, df=5)) plot(x, y) lines(x, fitted(fit)) # won't work w/o prior loading of the flexmix package. newx = seq(0, 1, len=n) points(newx, predict(fit, data.frame(x=newx)), type="b", col=2, err=...

Dear R Users, R Core Team, I currently wonder how to predict the probability of an event with new data resulting from a finite mixture. I read the documentation of the flexmix package and the examples of applications provided on CRAN but I could not find how to predict (except "manually" but I am looking for a simpler solution) the final probability of the mixture (for each individual) with new data (I mean data different from the ones I used to build the model...

Greetings I'm a relatively new R user and I'm trying to build a latent class model. I've used the 'R Site Search' and it appears there's not much dialogue on these packages On mmlcr, I've gotten it working, but not sure if I'm using it correctly. On flexmix, I can only seem to get results for one class. I'm attaching my code below - if anyone is familiar with either of these packages, I'd really appreciate some assistance or direction. I'm also attaching a small sample dataset. Many thanks for your help! Scott Geller l...

Dear useRs, FlexMix version 1.0-0 has been released on CRAN. FlexMix implements a general framework for finite mixtures of regression models using the EM algorithm. FlexMix provides the E-step and all data handling, while the M-step can be supplied by the user to easily define new models. Existing drivers implement m...

Problem on flexmix when trying to apply signature developed in one model to a new sample. Dear R Users, R Core Team, I have a problem when trying to know the classification of the tested cases using two variables with the function of flexmix: After importing the database and creating a matrix: BM<-cbind(...

Hi, I am trying to understand how to use the flexmix package, I have read the Leisch paper but am very unclear what is needed for the M-step driver. I am just fitting a simple linear regression model. The documentation is far from clear what the FLXmclust function does, but, it in principle could do all I need, however, I do not get sentible result...

Hello, I'm trying out flexmix and mclust for the first time on some univariate data which is typically best described as lognormal, but can sometimes be gamma distributed as well. I first tried using EM on mclust assuming the data was lognormally distributed and could only get it to work in "E" mode, i.e. the equal va...

Hello list, Has anyone had any luck creating an M-step driver for negative binomial regression for use with package flexmix? I've had a look here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/flexmix/vignettes/flexmix-intro.pdf as well as poking around in the flexmix source, but I haven't had much luck getting anything to work. I can't figure out how to a) come up with an initial estimate of theta, as I don't...

Dear R-helpers & Friedrich Leisch, I'm trying to fit a mixture of regression models on attached data set by doing the following: agl <- read.table("agl.txt") mod1 <- flexmix(resp~gng+csc|Subject,data=agl, model=FLXglm(family="binomial"),k=2) The result is a (varying) number of the following warnings: Warning messages: 1: non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! in: eval(expr, envir, enclos) 2: non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! in: eval(expr, env...

Hi, I am using the package "flexmix" and would like get some assistance. I am trying to run two equations jointly Y1=X1B+E1 Y2=X2G+E2 So that I have X and Y in a matrix format and would like to run the latent class model using flexmix. Though, my problem here is that Flexmix automatically generates intercepts. I have intercept...

Dear list: I would like to recreate how the artificial data set BregFix was generated in package flexmix (thanks Bettina and Friedrich). The data set is thoroughly described in Grun and Leisch's Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 51(11) :5247-5252 but references to the appropriate seed number(s) are missing (providing these details was certainly beyond the scope of the authors' work...

Hello all, I am trying to fit a truncated mixture model and I wrote a driver for flexmix following the example in the vignette, but it doesn't work for me: it assigns all data points to one component only, e.g.: > > source('bugged.R') > > Call: > flexmix(formula = x ~ 1, k = 2, model = truncatedmodel(lower = -4, > upper = 4)) > > prior si...

I am receiving the following error while executing KLdiv method: kl<-KLdiv(y) Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "KLdiv", for signature "data.frame" the code is as follows: require(flexmix) KLdiv(y) the object y (snippet, actual object contains 188 entries) is as follows: s1p5 s2p5 1 0.6 0.8 2 0.8 0.2 3 0.6 0.8 4 0.2 0.0 5 0.6 0.8 6 0.6 0.4 7 0.2 0.8 8 1.0 0.0 9 0.4 0.8 10 0.4 0.4 I tried searching in the R mail archives but could not ge...

Hi, Marion, I believe the package FlexMix provides a more generalized version of finite mixture modeling than is found in mclust/mclust02.

Dear R-users, I would like to use the package flexmix to fit latent classes to a regression model. My data are repeated measurements of bernouilli variables so I can use the binomial family link to the glm function. The design is not balanced, meaning that for some individuals in my data set I have 10 measurements or more, for others I only have 5 or...

I am trying to estimate a latent class multinomial logit regression with flexmix. I am not sure if I should do it as follows: m4<-flexmix(cbind(y,1-y)~x1+x2|id,model=FLXMRglm(family="binomial"),data=NPreg,k=2) , where id links each row with the corresponding respondent. Each respondent has 4 alternatives to chose from. y takes the value 1 only for the alternat...
