you can try both mclust and mixtools in R as pre compiled macros/packages to make a single line code for making mix models in R

The single line command would be mlcustbic(parameters...)

I am not sure which SAS / license or Macro can make mix models

its funny I was working on mix models but using parallel processing on Open MPI this morning for a project on a 1500 cluster.

SAS pricing for multiple clusters is too high even for academics ( >100,000). Thats one reason the nearby Oakridge Lab with 100,000 processors or even UTenn's Kraken cant use SAS for HPC even for academic reasons.

Regards,

Ajay

Wensui,

Can you elaborate on your question a little more?

Dale

Dale,
It is not me who asked the question on selection of component numbers in
FMM. I am just trying to answer the question.
On page 202 of "finite mixture models" by McLachlan and Peel, it is
suggested to use information criterions (aic / bic) to select number of
components in a FMM.
However, I really like to see how you answer this question, since your reply
is the most educational on SAS-L.
Have a nice holiday season!

Ajay,
I am not the one who asked the question.
However, just FYI, FMM can be implemented in SAS. For details, you can
search for Dale's related posts before. NLmixed is used to estimate a FMM.
