Hi, I got the same problem like http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/11/1204.html R crashes when I use the em function from the mclust package on univariate data and on a special case on bivariate data (when the matrix is not provided as written in the manual). It seems as if the problem is the format of the data to be analyzed. Operating System: Windows XP (SP2) R version: R-2.0.1 The

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

Hello, Is there a way to generate EPS figures automatically out of a chunk of code? Basically, I would like to do something like Sweave does (I just find it a little cumbersome to create a .Rnw file and then keep track of the figure numbering). Thanks for your time. Ery Arias-Castro

Hi, I would like to evaluate a function f(x,y) taking two vectors as entries on all pairs of X rows and Y rows, where X and Y are n-by-p and m-by-p matrices respectively. Of course, I would like to avoid loops if possible, as the dataset I want to process is quite large. I was not able to find a combination of outer() and apply() to do this -- note that I am fairly new to R. Below is

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

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

Hi All, I am using em() function to estimate a poisson-gaussian process from a univariate one dimension time series, but not sure how to do. In the help manual, it specify that in "pro" of the argument "parameter", if the model includes a Poisson term for noise, there should be one more mixing proportion than the number of Gaussian components. But in the example, the parameter

Hello, This example seems strange to me: > if (2 > 3) print('Yes'); else print('No') Error: unexpected 'else' in " else" > {if (2 > 3) print('Yes'); else print('No')} Error: unexpected 'else' in "{if (2 > 3) print('Yes'); else" > { + if (2 > 3) print('no') + else print('yes') + }

Hi All, I have a n x m matrix. The n rows are individuals, the m columns are variables. The matrix is in itself a collection of 1s (if a variable is observed for an individual), and 0s (is there is no observation). Something like: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [2,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [3,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [4,] 0 1 0

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

Dear R users, I use mclust to fit a mixture of normal distributions to many datasets. Usually the Mclust function finds 1 or two normal distributions, rarely, 3. But I hit a strange case today. my.data <- c(57.96920, 51.79415, 51.20538, 55.53637, 51.64291, 56.61476, 51.28855, 55.56169, 51.85113, 54.03330, 51.37370, 49.48561, 52.41580, 53.51176, 60.49293, 55.77012, 51.59270, 56.29660,

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

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to estimate the parameters of a mixture of bivariate (or multivariate) normals via EM Algorithm. I tried to write it, but in the estimation of the matrix of variance and covariance, i have some problems. I generate two bidimensional vectors both from different distribution with their own vector means and variance and

Hi, dear R experts . is there any package contain an universal EM procedure, that is , for arbitrary d.f. , not just the one in mclust . thanks in advance best regards ----------------------------------------------- Peng Jiang ?? ,Ph.D. Candidate Antai College of Economics & Management ????????

Hello, I'm trying to use Mclust to fit a Gaussian Mixture Model to a mulitdimensional data set. Because of the specific source of my data, I know that all components have the same variance and that the covariance between dimensions is zero (modelname=VII). Furthermore, I have a reliable estimate of the variance of the components. I want to to use this estimate as a prior in mclust, hoping

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)

I'm running Mclust 3.0 in R-2.7.0 and have run into a situation where the optimal number of clusters, 12, seems to be greater than the number of colors available to Mclust. The code below, which demonstrates errors, does not if the max no of clusters is set at 10. sessionInfo, after a restart of R and loading of packages, follows the output. Is this a known problem with Mclust? Can I

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")

I couldn't find a direct answer in CRAN to this question, so I'm asking with some trepidation. I have a multivariate dataset (data.frame) with columns that can be expressed as a set of mixed normals (at least I think) and need to impute values that have constraints (truncated mixture of normals where the values cannot be below zero). If there isn't a package that can do this, is there
