The method of setting the initial values given lambda, alpha1, etc. should not depend on the exact values of lambda, alpha1, etc. in my situation, i.e. it does not depend on my data. On Mar 22, 2017 04:30, "David Winsemius" <dwinsem...@comcast.net> wrote: > On Mar 21, 2017,

[R] Using betareg package to fit beta mixture with given initial parameters

Hi, I would like to fit a mixture of two beta distributions with parameters (alpha1, beta1) for the first component, (alpha2, beta2) for the second component, and lambda for the mixing parameter. I also would like to set a maximum of 200 iterations and a tolerance of 1e-08. My question is: how
