Specifying the Model
We will use a saturated model for the variables PetalLength and PetalWidth. The
scatterplot that was shown earlier suggests that these two variables will allow the
program to do a good job of classifying the flowers according to species.
Note that you are not limited to saturated models when doing mixture modeling.
You can use a factor analysis model or a regression model or any other kind of model.
See Example 36 for a demonstration of mixture modeling with a regression model.
