Hello,

I recently submitted some code for the fitting of multivariate normal mixture 
model distributions to data using the Expectation Maximization algorithm.  I 
placed the code in the o.a.c.m.optimization.fitting package.  Gilles wonders if 
it would make more sense to have it in the o.a.c.m.distribution.fitting 
package.  That may be true.

Any thoughts?  Either one is fine by me.  EM is an optimization algorithm and 
it also fits distributions.  It uses a lot of the code from 
o.a.c.m.distribution and none from o.a.c.m.optimization, so that may imply that 
it would make sense to move it.

The code is not yet committed.  Here is the link: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-817

Thanks,
Jared
