Hi All,
On my way to doing other models, I found a way to estimate independent mixture distribution models in OpenMx by using the undocumented, unsupported, but oh so useful mxRowObjective function. I've attached the R script, its plain text output, and the data. The data is from Zucchini and MacDonald's (2009) text on Hidden Markov Models, and is freely available on the book's website
I'll add the license information to the script, add the mxCheckCloseEnough, and generally follow the template of the other scripts; then I'll add it to trunk/models/passing.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
