Did you search "www.r-help.org" -> Search -> "R Site Search" and S-News (Google -> S-News -> S-News Mailing List Archives)? I recently estimated a normal mixture, 2 components, mean 0, different variances. I had computational difficulties until I took the time to avoid under and overflow

Well, If k is known, you can use maximun likelihood to fit the weights, means, and sd's. The EM algorithm can be of help to solve the optimization problem. You would have to implement it yourself for your particular case, but I do not think it is big trouble. Then you could estimate k using Ba

Hello, I have a concrete statistical question: I have a sample of an univariate mixture of an unknown number (k) of normal distributions, each time with an unknown mean `m_i' and a standard deviation `k * m_i', where k is known factor constant for all the normal distributions. (The `i' is a sub
