Expectation-Maximization algorithm for fitting the parameters of multivariate normal mixture model distributions. This implementation is pure original code based on EM Demystified: An Expectation-Maximization Tutorial by Yihua Chen and Maya R. Gupta, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195. It was verified using external tools like CRAN Mixtools (see the JUnit test cases) but it is not based on Mixtools code at all. The discussion of the origin of this class can be seen in the comments of the MATH-817 JIRA issue.
Since:3.2

Fit a mixture model to the data supplied to the constructor. The quality of the fit depends on the concavity of the data provided to the constructor and the initial mixture provided to this function. If the data has many local optima, multiple runs of the fitting function with different initial mixtures may be required to find the optimal solution. If a SingularMatrixException is encountered, it is possible that another initialization would work.
Params:
