Hi, is there any package/function that can tell if a numeric vector (continuous data) has a bimodal or trimodal distribution and caluclate the location of the corresponding modes? Thanks

Hello, I see that "mclust" is a pacakge that handles fitting mixtures of normals. Are there any other packages out that that can handle mixtures of gammas or other exponentials? Additionally, are there any packages out there that can fit bimodal distributions without mixtures? i.e., Cobb et al. 1983 using moment recursion relations? Thank you! mw Marion Wittmann, Ph.D.

Recently, I have been working with some data that look like two overlapping gaussian distributions. I would like to either 1) determine the mean and SD for each of the two distributions OR 2) get some (bayesian ?) statistic that estimates how likely an observation is to belong to the left-hand or right-hand distribution In case I'm using the wrong language, my data looks something like

Hi all! I have an ordered vector of values. The distribution of these values can be modeled by a sum of Gaussians. So I'm using the package 'mclust' to get the Gaussians's parameters for this 1D distribution. It works very well, but, for input sizes above 100.000 values it starts taking really forever. Unfortunately my dataset has around 4.6M values... My question: is it

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")

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

We currently ship a PAE 32-bit domU that we can trivially make bimodal, except that if we set it to "bimodal", then older Xens will default to thinking the domU is not PAE: 353 dsi->pae_kernel = PAEKERN_no; 354 if ( dsi->__elfnote_section ) 355 { 356 p = xen_elfnote_string(dsi, XEN_ELFNOTE_PAE_MODE); 357 if ( p != NULL && strncmp(p,

Hello everyone, I'm trying to use mle from package stats4 to fit a bi/multi-modal distribution to some data, but I have some problems with it. Here's what I'm doing (for a bimodal distribution): # Build some fake binormally distributed data, the procedure fails also with real data, so the problem isn't here data = c(rnorm(1000, 3, 0.5), rnorm(500, 5, 0.3)) # Just to check

Hi, I was looking for a package that would help with outlier detection for bimodal distributions. I have tried 'outliers' and 'extremevalues' packages, but am not sure if they are ok for bimodal distribution. Any help would be highly appreciated! thanks, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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, Does anybody have a good tip of how to treat bimodal data to perform statistical analyses? My data set ranges from -1 to 1 (any values are posssible in between) and most data are either close to -1 or close to 1. They are the results of a two choice experiment where individuals could choose more than once in either direction and scores were calculated. Simone Simone Immler

Hola a tod en s, estoy intentando averiguar el número de modas en una distribución. Para ello utilizo diptest. Mi duda es que no acabo de entender cuando la información suministrada por los test suponen la existencia o no de unimodalidad/multimodalidad. Una parte de la salidad de diptest es la que pego a continuación (el resto esta en el fichero adjunto con las distribuciones kernels y las

Dear useRs, I have a curve which is a mixture of Gaussian curves (for example UV emission or absorption spectrum). Do you have any suggestions how to implement searching for optimal set of Gaussian peaks to fit the curve? I know that it is very complex problem, but maybe it is a possibility to do it? First supposement is to use a nls() with very large functions, and compare AIC value, but it is

Dear R users, I'm looking for a test of bimodality in order to make some decisions about how to procede with an analysis algorithm. I have not come across any such tests in my readings and discussions apart from the Rao which appears to be applicable to cyclic data. The data I'm interested in characterizing as uni- or bimodal are frequency x amplitude spectra of consonant speech sounds,

For several years, I have been using Splus to analyze an ongoing series of datasets that have a bimodal distribution. I have used the following functions, in particular the ms() function, to estimate the parameters: two means, two standard deviations, and one proportion. Here is the code I've been using in S: btmp.bi <- function(vec, p, m1, m2, sd1, sd2) {

Hi, Is there any package that I can use to simulate the Gaussian Mixture Model , which is a mixture modeling method that is widely used in statistical learning theory. I know there is a mclust, however, I think it is a little bit different from my problem. Thanks very much.. regards. -------------------------- Peng Jiang ??

Can anyone recommend a good nonparametric density approach for data bounded (say between 0 and 1)? For example, using the basic Gaussian density approach doesn't generate a very realistic shape (nor should it): > set.seed(1) > dat <- rbeta(100, 1, 2) > plot(density(dat)) (note the area outside of 0/1) The data I have may be bimodal or have other odd properties (e.g. point mass

I am trying to make horizontal violin plots. I have tried both vioplot and simple.violinplot, but both of them seem to not be willing to take the horizontal option. Is this correct, or am I just bungling it somehow? For instance, for vioplot (from the example shown, with the horizontal modification): > vioplot(bimodal,uniform,normal, horizontal=TRUE) Error in median(data) : need numeric data
