A finite m ixture m odel i s a c onvex c ombination of more probability density functions. By combining the properties of the individual probability density functions, mixture models are capable of approximating any arbitrary distribution. In this work we propose a method for the Generate a random sample from a finite mixture distribution. The proposed method envelope conventional models: translation, scaling and translation-scaling.
