Covariates

[tirthankar....@gmail.com]

Hi,

Let me begin by saying that I think MIXMOD is a wonderful
contribution.

My question is does MIXMOD allow for covariates? (A few re-phrasings)
Does it allow for model based clustering/finite mixture models? Can I
specify a response variable and predictors for it? Is it possible to
parameterize the mean and/or scale of the mixing (in my case,
multinomial) distributions in terms of co-observed variates?

I am new to Matlab & MIXMOD.

Thank you,

Tirthankar
