Detailed Description

Mixture of epdfs.

Density function:

\[ f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} w_{i} f_i(x), \quad \sum_{i=1}^n w_i = 1. \]

where $f_i(x)$ is any density on random variable $x$, called component,


Member Function Documentation

void emix::set_parameters ( const vec &  w,
const Array< epdf * > &  Coms,
bool  copy = true 
)

Set weights w and components Coms By default Coms are copied inside.

Parameters:
copy can be set to false if Coms live externally. Use method ownComs() if Coms should be destroyed by the destructor.
