Fit Two-Component Normal and Lognormal Mixture Models
Fits, bootstraps, and evaluates two-component normal and lognormal
mixture models. Parameters are searched within data-derived bounds by
differential-evolution global optimization, as implemented in the 'DEoptim'
package (Mullen, Ardia, Gil, Windover and Cline, 2011)
, followed by a local 'L-BFGS-B' refinement step
via optim(). Also provides preliminary diagnostic plots, diagnostic plots
for fitted mixtures, automatic normal-versus-lognormal model selection by
the Bayesian or Akaike information criterion, and parametric or
nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals for the fitted parameters.
