PyMix - The Python mixture package

Author: Alexander Mendez

Original Author: Benjamin Georgi [email protected]

Installation Instructions:

• Required Packages

  Python (version 2.5+ recommended, tested with 2.7)

  Numpy (version 1.6?, tested with 1.6)

  GSL GNU Scientific library

• Optional Packages

  GHMM for mixtures of HMMs

  pylab for plotting functions in plotMixture.py

• How to install ?

  Extract the tarball to some directory of your choice. Change into the directory and run:

    python setup.py build
    python setup.py install --prefix=/some/where
  

  If you wish to pull down the github version you can use pip:

    pip install git+https://github.com/ajmendez/PyMix.git
  

  It is now part of pypi:

    pip install pymix
  

  After the installation is completed I would recommend to run mixtureunittests.py to check whether everything is in order.

  To get the GSL on OSX I recomend using homebrew to build the universal package so that it works with both the i386 version in EPD:

    brew install gsl --universal
