Abstract

By Stochastic simulations we discuss the fitness of a mix-ture normal distribution to observations from general mixture distribu-tions using the MLE method and the EM algorithm. We calulate the probability of misclassifying objects and estimate the optimal number of mixture components with mutual information measure.
