Packages for estimating finite mixtures: a review.
The writer examines five software packages that can estimate finite mixtures: BINOMIX, C.A. MAN, and MIX, which specialize in mixture estimation, and BMDP and STATA, the maximum likelihood routines of two statistical packages. She concentrates on numerical issues, specifically the matter of initia...

MAN, and MIX, which specialize in mixture estimation, and BMDP and STATA, the maximum likelihood routines of two statistical packages. She concentrates on numerical issues, specifically the matter of initial values for nonlinear estimation, rather than on issues such as user interface because the success or failure of an algorithm to yield a mixture model will probably be the most important issue facing a researcher. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Product Evaluation src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
