Methods for fitting mixture distributions to univariate data using expectation maximization, HWHM and other methods. Supports Gaussian, Cauchy, Student's t and von Mises mixtures. For more details see Merkys (2018) <https://www.lvb.lt/permalink/370LABT_NETWORK/1m6ui06/alma9910036312108451>.

Implementations of various robust and flexible model-based clustering methods for data sets with missing values at random (Tong and Tortora, 2025, <doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i03>). 
    Two main models are: Multivariate Contaminated Normal Mixture (MCNM, Tong and Tortora, 2022, <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00476-1>) and 
    Multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Mixture (MGHM, Wei et al., 2019, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.08.016>). Mixtures via some special or limiting
    cases of the multivariate generalized hyperbolic distribution are also included: Normal-Inverse Gaussian, Symmetric Normal-Inverse Gaussian, 
    Skew-Cauchy, Cauchy, Skew-t, Student's t, Normal, Symmetric Generalized Hyperbolic, Hyperbolic Univariate Marginals, 
    Hyperbolic, and Symmetric Hyperbolic. Funding: This work was partially supported by the National Science foundation NSF Grant NO. 2209974.

Implements large-scale hypothesis testing by variance mixing. It takes two statistics per testing unit -- an estimated effect and its associated squared standard error -- and fits a nonparametric, shape-constrained mixture separately on two latent parameters. It reports local false discovery rates (lfdr) and local false sign rates (lfsr). Manuscript describing algorithm of MixTwice: Zheng et al(2021) <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btab162>.

Tool for exploring DNA and amino acid variation and inferring the presence of target lineages from microbial high-throughput genomic DNA samples that potentially contain mixtures of variants/lineages. MixviR was originally created to help analyze environmental SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 samples from environmental sources such as wastewater or dust, but can be applied to any microbial group. Inputs include reference genome information in commonly-used file formats (fasta, bed) and one or more variant call format (VCF) files, which can be generated with programs such as Illumina's DRAGEN, the Genome Analysis Toolkit, or bcftools. See DePristo et al (2011) <doi:10.1038/ng.806> and Danecek et al (2021) <doi:10.1093/gigascience/giab008> for these tools, respectively. Available outputs include a table of mutations observed in the sample(s), estimates of proportions of target lineages in the sample(s), and an R Shiny dashboard to interactively explore the data.
