mixtureCutDependence

fun ReportBuilder.mixtureCutDependence(stability: PartitionStability, title: String = "Does the fit depend on where the cuts fell?", results: MixtureModelingResults? = null, variableName: String = "observed value")(source)

Whether the reported density depends on where the cuts between components fell.

Every component is estimated from its own group, so every reported component depends on two cut positions — and nothing in the result shows it. This reports what happened when the cuts were moved.

The reading is three-valued rather than a yes or no because a yes-or-no does not survive measurement: calibrated against the designed experiment, a threshold on the density movement is barely better than chance, while the extremes are strongly informative and say different things.
