I'm sorry, this is probably a very simple question. I am relatively
new to R and am having difficulty understanding how to use the mclust
options to change the prior probabilities for a mixture model.
I am dealing with a situation where I have 2 groups of data and it is
known that the sample sizes are different in the population. I want to
incorporate the probability associated with each group into the mixture
model to obtain better classification.
My current syntax is simply
mclust(data, G=2)
How can I modify this if I want to best represent a group split of 20
in group 1 and 80 in group 2?
