FLXcomponent-class

show,FLXcomponent-method

A fitted component of a <code>flexmix</code> model.

classes

A general framework for finite mixtures of regression
models using the EM algorithm is implemented. The E-step and all
data handling are provided, while the M-step can be supplied by the
user to easily define new models. Existing drivers implement
mixtures of standard linear models, generalized linear models and
model-based clustering.
