similar to: R crashes using the em function of package mclust (PR#7719)

I keep on receiving the message below after submitting the following line using the mclust package. m2 is a 99 X 1 column vector. * em(modelName = "E", m2, mu = c(25, 50), sigmasq=10, pro = c(0.4, 0.6)) Error in as.double.default(data) : (list) object cannot be coerced to double. Why do I receive this error? Thank, Brian C. Newquist Research Statistician

Hello everyone. I have a few MCLUST questions and I was hoping someone could help me out. If you’re an MCLUST user, they will likely be pretty easy to answer. Thanks in advance for any help. Ken What are the pros/cons of starting a finite mixture model at the “m” step versus the “e” step (where “m” is the maximization step and “e” is the expectation step of the EM algorithm)? In

Hi, I'm trying to use the library mclust for gaussian mixture on a numeric vector. The function Mclust(data,G=3) is working fine but the fitting is not optimal and is using modelNames="E". When I'm trying Mclust(data,G=3,modelName="V") I have the following message: Error in if (Sumry$G > 1) ans[c(orderedNames, "z")] else ans[orderedNames] : argument is

Dear Knowledgeable R Community Members, Please excuse my ignorance, I apologize in advance if this is an easy question, but I am a bit stumped and could use a little guidance. I have a finite mixture modeling problem -- for example, a 2-component gaussian mixture -- where the components have a large overlap, and I am trying to use the "mclust" package to solve this problem. I need

Whenever I submit the following command >result <- em("E", m1, mu=c(25, 50), sigmasq=10, pro=c(0.49,0.51)) in MCLUST , I experience a problem with my Windows XP. Has anyone had this type of problem? I receive the general "send report" dialogue box and my program is no longer able to run. Should I change any of my system settings? Let me know if you think of anything

> No HTML this time. Sorry Dear all, I am attempting to model some one-dimensional data using Gaussian mixture model with mclust.? Generally, the data that I have have 3 overlapping populations (with one of them being the majority, and the other two combining to less than 15%) and for some reason, mclust consistently ignores the smaller peaks, giving me strange values for the means

Hello All... I gave a task to my students that involved using mclust to look for clusters in some bivariate data of isotopes vs various mining locations. They discovered something I didn?t expect; the data (called tur) is appended below. p <- qplot(x = dD, y = dCu65, data = tur, color = mine) print(p) # simple bivariate plot of the data; looks fine mod1 <- Mclust(tur[,2:3]) mod1$G mod2

Hi All, I need to fit a mutlivariate normal model to a dataset in order to obtain the mean and covariance parameters. I see that the MVN function in the MCLUST package can do this, however when I try to run even the simplest example provided in the documentation, as below, I get the following error: n <- 1000 set.seed(0) x <- rnorm(n, mean = -1, sd = 2) mvn(modelName = "X", x)

Hi, I am trying to run th mclust package on a variable "Tuberculin indurations" recorded as mm. The file has only one variable. When I run the package I get NULL value for mu and sigma. Can anybody say why? This is the program: library("mclust") mc<-Mclust(x.trab,G=1:9,warn=TRUE) mc mc$mu sqrt(mc$sigmasq) and the output I get is > library("mclust")

Dear Knowledgeable R Community Members, Please excuse my ignorance -- I apologize in advance if this is an easy question, but I am a bit stumped and could use a little guidance regarding parameters in 2 functions in the "mclust" package. -------------------- PROBLEM DESCRIPTION -------------------- I have a finite mixture modeling problem -- for example, a 2-component gaussian

Dear list members, I am using Mclust in order to deconvolute a distribution that I believe is a sum of two gaussians. First I can make a model: > my.data.model = Mclust(my.data, modelNames=c("E"), warn=T, G=1:3) But then, when I try to plot the result, I get the following error: > mclust1Dplot(my.data.model, parameters = my.data.model$parameters, what = "density")

Dear group, I want to use the mclust package on large data, and therefore I want to use a subset in the initial clustering phase. From help(mclust): k: If `k' is specified, the hierarchical clustering phase will use a sample of size `k' of the data in the initial hierarchical clustering phase. The default is to use the entire data set. m2 is a

Dear all, I am attempting to model some one-dimensional data using Gaussian mixture model with mclust.

Dear all I have a problem in fitting lines() of the normal distributions identified with Mclust on a histogram or a mclust1Dplot. Here is some sample code to explain : set.seed(22) foo <- c(rnorm(400, 10, 2), rnorm(500, 17, 4)) mcl <- Mclust(foo, G=2) mcl.sd <- sqrt(mcl$parameters$variance$sigmasq) mcl.size <- c(length(mcl$classification[mcl$classification==2]),

I'm applying a function (Cov.f) defined below to each element of a distance matrix. When I run the code below, I get a warning message (below) and elements of returned matrix [2,3] and [3,2] are not zero as I would expect. Clearly, there is an error... What am I doing wrong? Thanks. --Dale Warning message: In if (h <= phi) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element

Hi all, I have to ask this and I know that the reason is that I am a newbie with R programming. So apologize if it is too obvious but I didn't find an answer after googling and reading "An introduction to R". So i have return data from 30 instruments and I am fitting a mixture of normal distributions for the asymmetric marginal distributions and then simulating from those

Dear people, I've a problem in doing a power calculation. In Fryer and Nicholson (1993), ICES J. mar. Sci. 50: 161-168 page 164 an example is given with the following characteristics T=5, points in time R=5, replicates Var.within=0.1 q=10, a 10% increase per year The degrees of freedom for the test are calculated as Vl=T*R-2=23 and the non-centrality parameter Dl=4.54. Using this they get a

Hi, all; I got an unusual error while using mclust library 2.1-7 on R 2.0.1. When I tried to run Mclust(rnorm(100)), I got segmentation fault error. Does anyone know what causes this problem? I came across the same problem even when I tried to run the example shown in Mclust help using iris data.

My question is with respect to mCLUST and the values of BIC and log likelihood.
