FURTHER MIXTURE SOFTWARE

  • The appendix of McLachlan and Basford (1988) contains the listing of FORTRAN programs for the fitting by maximum likelihood of normal mixture models under a variety of experimental conditions.

  • Jones and McLachlan (1990) have provided a FORTRAN subroutine MGT (available at StatLib) for the (maximum likelihood) fitting of mixtures of univariate normal (log normal) components to data that are grouped into intervals and may also be truncated.

  • McLachlan, McLaren, and Matthews (1995) have provided the FORTRAN subroutine NMFIT that fits a mixture of g normal (lognormal) components for g=1 and g=2 in turn to data in interval and truncated form, without need for the user to specify the starting value for the vector of unknown parameters. Moreover, if so required, it carries out the likelihood ratio test of g=1 versus g=2 components by adopting a resampling approach to the assessment of the null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic.

  • Concerning nonnormal data, McLachlan, Ng, Adams, McGiffin, and Galbraith (1997) have provided an algorithm for fitting mixtures of Gompertz distributions to censored survival data.
