Hi, Marion, I believe the package FlexMix provides a more generalized version of finite mixture modeling than is found in mclust/mclust02. Please see: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/vignettes/flexmix/flexmix-intro.pdf Karen ---

Are there any other packages out that that can handle mixtures of gammas or other exponentials? Additionally, are there any packages out there that can fit bimodal distributions without mixtures? i.e., Cobb et al. 1983 using moment recursion relations?
