Dec 23, 2023 at 4:02 comment added Ben Farmer I would say they effectively want a test of whether the two sets of samples come from the same distribution, but potentially making use of an assumption that the true distribution is some kind of Gaussian mixture. So rather than doing a non-parametric test one can perhaps do the test based on fitting a Gaussian mixture model.

Mar 29, 2016 at 15:09 comment added user46925 This is just a two sample test where each of the samples is bimodal in nature.
Mar 28, 2016 at 18:21 comment added Tim @zero but those are two different models, computed on different data. Example: you want to compare model that assumes normal distribution with parameters $\mu$ and $\sigma$ for human height to another model that assumes binomial distribution for number of heads in $n$ coin tosses parametrized by $p$ -- what and how would you like to compare in here? It is like comparing taste of pizza to speed of a sports car...

Mar 27, 2016 at 21:05 comment added user46925 Yes the models, what else?
Mar 27, 2016 at 21:00 comment added Tim Whether what is statistically different? The data (what aspect of it?), the models?
Mar 27, 2016 at 19:45 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica Possible duplicate of Zero inflate models vs generalized mixture model
Mar 27, 2016 at 19:19 comment added user46925 Whether they are statistically different!
Mar 27, 2016 at 19:19 comment added Tim What would you like to compare in this scenario? You have two different models fitted to two different datasets...

Mar 27, 2016 at 19:02 comment added user46925 Two samples and I fit a GMM for each of those samples; hence I have 2 GMMs.
Mar 27, 2016 at 19:02 comment added Tim You have two samples or two models? Those are not the same.
Mar 27, 2016 at 18:58 comment added user46925 I think this makes perfect sense. I have two GMMs and I want to determine whether they are from different populations or not

Mar 27, 2016 at 18:53 comment added Tim What do you mean by "GMM samples"?

Mar 27, 2016 at 18:21 comment added user46925 I have two GMM samples. I want to compare whether they are different or not.
Mar 27, 2016 at 15:25 comment added Danica What exactly do you mean by this? Do you have two data sets, each with a best-fit GMM, and you want to test whether the generating GMMs are different? Are you just given two sets of GMM parameters and you want to determine if they're "different enough" (in which case we'll need much more info)?
