Gaussian Mixture Distribution

Fit, evaluate, and generate random samples from Gaussian mixture distribution

A Gaussian mixture distribution is a multivariate distribution that consists of multivariate Gaussian distribution components. Each component is defined by its mean and covariance, and the mixture is defined by a vector of mixing proportions. Create a distribution object gmdistribution by fitting a model to data (fitgmdist) or by specifying parameter values (gmdistribution). Then, use object functions to perform cluster analysis (cluster, posterior, mahal), evaluate the distribution (cdf, pdf), and generate random variates (random).
