Would package "teigen" help?

I don?t see how neither a) or b) applies to this question nor the technical merit of the remark about mixture models. Do you have a suggestion for a more appropriate forum for this issue/question? (stackoverflow basically sent me here). Kind regards > On 29. Jun 2017, at 16:58, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Offlist, because this is (a) an opinion and (b)

Offlist, because this is (a) an opinion and (b) about statistics and therefore offtopic. I don't know whether any such package exists, but I would predict that this is likely to be overdetermined (too many parameters) and therefore unlikely to be a successful strategy. Fitting a mixture of Gaussians is already difficult enough. Feel free to ignore, of course, and no need to reply. Cheers,

Thanks Ranjan, that provides exactly what I need. I also got a more elaborate answer on stackoverflow (after the same question got rejected form cross validated?) with a running example for this package: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44825529/package-to-fit-mixtures-of-student-t-distributions/44827220#44827220

gamlss.mx can fit these I believe (although no experience with these myself) flexmix may be (relatively easily) adaptable to accomplish this as well hth, Ingmar Ingmar Visser Universitair Hoofddocent ontwikkelingspsychologie | Directeur College Psychologie Afdeling Psychologie | Faculteit Maatschappij- en Gedragswetenschappen | Universiteit van Amsterdam Bezoek | Nieuwe Achtergracht 129B | Kamer

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 Weibull mixture -- where the components have a large overlap, and I am trying to adapt the "mclust" package which concern to normal

Hi everybody, I am currently working on mixtures of two densities ( f(xi,teta)= (1-teta)*f1(xi) + teta*f2(xi) ), particularly on the behavior of the variance for teta=0 (so sample only comes from the first distribution). To determine the maximum likelihood estimator I use the Newton-Rapdon Iteration. But when computing the first derivative I get a none linear function (with several asymptotes)

Hello, I have a concrete statistical question: I have a sample of an univariate mixture of an unknown number (k) of normal distributions, each time with an unknown mean `m_i' and a standard deviation `k * m_i', where k is known factor constant for all the normal distributions. (The `i' is a subscript.) Is there a function in R that can estimate the number of normal distributions k

Dear R Users?? I woould like to generate mixture model data. I try two type method as followings two method, can anyone tell me which is right? or better? 1. generate two vectors data y1 and y2 from f1 and f2 seperately, and calculate y=alpha1*y1+alpha2*y2, 2. generate prob=unif(1), if prob <alpha1 y=y1, else y=y2. Can anyone give me some idea? Thanks so much! Goeland goeland at

I want to create the mixture formulation of a discrete uniform ie, say f(x) = 1/10, for i = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 and another discrete distribution which has the same values of x, but he probabilities can vary. Can this be done on any package in R? an if so, can the package estimate the 'probabilities' of each of the x value as well as the mixing proportion if I have the data?

Hi people, Does anybody know some Density-Based Method for clustering implemented in R? Thanks, Fernando Prass _______________________________________________________

Dear all, I would like to fit a von mises mixture to my data using the EM Algorithm. Unfornately, existing packages (including circstats) doesn't provide such method. So, does anybody have written such code ? Big thanks, Christophe, (R newbie)

Dear R-help, I am doing clustering via finite mixture model. Please suggest some packages in R to find clusters via finite mixture model with continuous variables. And also I wish to verify the distributional properties of the mixture distributions by fitting the model with lognormal, gamma, exponentials etc,. Thanks in advance,  warm regards,Ms.Karunambigai M PhD Scholar Dept. of Biostatistics

Hi, I'm interested in experimental design and data analysis on mixtures, like cake recipes where the sum of the components is fixed; e.g. <http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pri/section5/pri54.htm>. I can't believe that R doesn't have facilities to design and analyse such experiments, but I haven't been able to find them (I have looked quite hard!). Can anyone point

Dear all, I'm fitting a set of length-of-stay data by a model of mixture of exponentials. I've been following the example on page 436 in MASS (5th Ed.). However, I have a couple of questions while following this example. What if we don't know how many components there are in the model in advance. Is there any established method to determine the number of components from a set of

Dear all, Does anyone know if the mixture analysis (i.e : sexual dimorphism, age group,…) can be done with R software ? Thanks for your help Dan --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Can anyone send me the R code for fitting a mixture of normal distributions. Or in fact any'combination' of mixtures of distributions. I looke dta mix but it is still not clear to me. Jim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi R-helpers, I'm trying to model a univariate as a bi-modal normal mixtures. I need to estimate the parameters of each gaussian (mean and sd) and their weights. What's the best way to do this in R? Thanks, Xiao-Jun

Hi, Before I write code to do it does anyone know of code for fitting mixtures of multivariate-t distributions. I can't use McLachan's EMMIX code because the license is "For non commercial use only". I checked, mclust and flexmix but both only do Gaussian. Thanks Nicholas
