R: Finite Mixtures of Distributions

FLXdist {flexmix} | R Documentation

## Finite Mixtures of Distributions

### Description

Constructs objects of class `FLXdist` which represent unfitted finite mixture models.

### Usage

     FLXdist(formula, k = NULL, model = FLXMRglm(), components,
             concomitant = FLXPconstant())

### Arguments

`formula` | A symbolic description of the model to be fit. The general form is `~x|g` where `x` is the set of predictors and `g` an optional grouping factor for repeated measurements.
`k` | Integer specifying the number of cluster or a numeric vector of length equal to the length of components, specifying the prior probabilities of clusters.
`model` | Object of class `FLXM` or a list of `FLXM` objects. Default is the object returned by calling `FLXMRglm()`.
`components` | A list of length equal to the number of components containing a list of length equal to the number of models which again contains a list of named elements for defining the parameters of the component-specific model.
`concomitant` | Object of class `FLXconcomitant` specifying the model for concomitant variables.

### Value

Returns an object of class `FLXdist`.
