Abstract
This paper presents a finite mixture density which might be a potentially useful model for the clustering of mixed mode data. A simplex algorithm is used to obtain maximum likelihood estimates and several small scale numerical examples indicate that its performance is relatively satisfactory.

A method is described for the minimization of a function of n variables, which depends on the comparison of function values at the (n 41) vertices of a general simplex, followed by the replacement of the vertex with the highest value by another point.

The maximum-likelihood theory and numerical solution techniques are developed for a fairly general class of distributions and the feasibility of the procedures is demonstrated by two examples of computer solutions for normal mixture models of the Fisher Iris data and of artify generated clusters with unequal covariance matrices.
