FlexMix Interface to Multiomial Logit Models

Model driver for fitting mixtures of multinomial logit models.

FLXMRmultinom(formula = . ~ ., ...)

Arguments

formula: A formula which is interpreted relative to the formula specified in the call to flexmix using update.formula. Default is to use the original flexmix model formula.
...: Additional arguments to be passed to nnet.default.

Details

The M-step is performed using nnet.default.

Value

Returns an object of class FLXMRmultinom inheriting from FLXMRglm.
