MIXTURE
Dirichlet Mixture Simulation


MIXTURE is a FORTRAN90 program which simulates a process governed by a Dirichlet Mixture probability density function (PDF).

Each realization of the process involves choosing one of a specified set of Dirichlet PDF's, with given weight, and then sampling that PDF.

The current code is pretty rough, and simply does a simulation. An improved version would involve using the simulation to test procedures for estimating the number of Dirichlet densities in the mixture, and their parameters, using a Bayesian approach.
