FLXdist

Finite Mixtures of Distributions

Constructs objects of class FLXdist which represent unfitted finite mixture models.

FLXdist(formula, k = NULL, model = FLXMRglm(), components,
         concomitant = FLXPconstant())

`formula`	A symbolic description of the model to be fit. The general form is `~x\|g` where `x` is the set of predictors and `g` an optional grouping factor for repeated measurements.
`k`	Integer specifying the number of cluster or a numeric vector of length equal to the length of components, specifying the prior probabilities of clusters.
`model`	Object of class `FLXM` or a list of `FLXM` objects. Default is the object returned by calling `FLXMRglm()`.
`components`	A list of length equal to the number of components containing a list of length equal to the number of models which again contains a list of named elements for defining the parameters of the component-specific model.
`concomitant`	Object of class `FLXconcomitant` specifying the model for concomitant variables.

Returns an object of class FLXdist.
