Gaussian Mixtures

We introduced Gaussian mixtures today and discussed how to estimate their parameters with R & JAGS for finite mixtures and the R package “DPpackage” for infinite (Dirichlet Process) mixtures. As we mentioned in our concluding discussion today, there is a very wide range of possible linguistic applications for this kind of models. The two scripts are available here: 1-mixture-distributions.r and 2-estimating-mixture-distributions.r.
