FLXMCdist1: FlexMix Clustering of Univariate Distributions

Description

These are drivers for flexmix implementing model-based clustering of univariate data using different distributions for the component-specific models.

Usage

FLXMCdist1(formula = . ~ ., dist, ...)

Value

FLXMCdist1 returns an object of class FLXMC.

Arguments

formula

A formula which is interpreted relative to the formula specified in the call to flexmix using update.formula. Only the left-hand side (response) of the formula is used. Default is to use the original flexmix model formula.

dist

Character string indicating the component-specific univariate distribution.

...

Arguments for the specific model drivers.

Author

Friedrich Leisch and Bettina Gruen

Details

Currently drivers for the following distributions are available:

1. Lognormal ("lnorm")

2. inverse Gaussian ("invGauss" using dinvGauss)

3. gamma ("gamma")

4. exponential ("exp")

5. Weibull ("weibull")

6. Burr ("burr" using dburr)

7. Inverse Burr ("invburr" using dinvburr)
