Fitting multiple normal mixture to data

[#1]

Hello,

I would like to get multiple normal mixture fitting to my data similar to what is presented here 

arXiv:1306.5856

Any thought on how this can done in JMP or JSL? Can I set a lower/upper limit on each peak locations in exchange for, likely, worse fits?

There is a similar capability in the Distribution Platform if you use a Shadowgram option and then you can place 2 and 3 mixture distributions on the Shadowgram

I think this can be done in the distribution platform -> fit normal 3 mixture, see screenshot.

Probably you have to transform your target column to integers, so that frequency role in distribution platform works, see example script below. The script will generate a table, and you can execute the graph builder and distribution platform.

If you need to fit more complex curves, you may have a look at reliability platform or for custom defined fitting nonlinear platform, the latter one is very powerful, but tricky to fit.

There are also other posts dealing with this issue:
