I am trying to model the mixture of two normal distributions, where x values are in the range of zero to some positive value. I know about mixtools and would use it save for the fact that the the y values from the normal distribution corresponding to the lower values of x (i.e. from zero to x/n) are from what appears to be a left-truncated normal distribution (i.e. the y values are all from the upper half of a normal distribution). The y values from higher values of x (i.e. from x/n to x) all appear to come from a normal distribution. Can someone suggest how to fit two normal distributions where one of the two distributions is left-truncated? Can this be done using mixtools? Thank you, John
