MixSim (version 0.1-01)

MixSim-package: Simulation of Gaussian Finite Mixture Models

Description

Simulation of Gaussian finite mixture models for prespecified levels of average or/and maximum overlap. Pairwise overlap is defined as the sum of two misclassification probabilities

Details

ll{ Package: MixSim Type: Package Version: 1.0 Date: 2009-04-20 License: GPL (>= 2) LazyLoad: no } Function 'MixSim' simulates a finite mixture model for a prespecified level of average or/and maximum overlap.

Function 'overlap' computes all misclassification probabilities for a finite mixture model.

Function 'pdplot' constructs a parallel distribution plot for a finite mixture model.

Function 'simdataset' simulates a dataset from a finite mixture model.

Examples

# Simulate parameters of a mixture model
A <- MixSim(BarOmega = 0.01, MaxOmega = 0.10, K = 10, p = 5)

# Display the mixture via the parallel distribution plot
pdplot(A$Pi, A$Mu, A$S, MaxInt = 0.5)
