FlexMix Version 2: Finite Mixtures with Concomitant Variables and Varying and Constant Parameters

flexmix provides infrastructure for flexible fitting of finite mixture models in R using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm or one of its variants. The functionality of the package was enhanced. Now concomitant variable models as well as varying and constant parameters for the component spe...
