Re: [R] mixtools? Fitting two-normal distributions to data where one of the two normal distributions (the one corresponding to lower values of x) is a left-truncated normal distribution.

Hi John, I don't know how well it will handle your truncated left distribution, but I use the function Mclust from package mclust to fit a mixture of normal distribution and it works very well. Denis Le 2015-06-30 à 22:22, John Sorkin jsor...@grecc.umaryland.edu a écrit : I am trying to

[R] mixtools? Fitting two-normal distributions to data where one of the two normal distributions (the one corresponding to lower values of x) is a left-truncated normal distribution.

2015-06-30 Thread John Sorkin
I am trying to model the mixture of two normal distributions, where x values are in the range of zero to some positive value. I know about mixtools and would use it save for the fact that the the y values from the normal distribution corresponding to the lower values of x (i.e. from zero to
