Determining seropositivity of anti-AMA1 antibodies from Bioko Island. (a) Probability density plot for the titre data. (b) Gaussian (or Normal) quantile-quantile plot for the data. (c) Classification probability curves predicted by the two-component Gaussian mixture model. (d) Classification probability curves predicted by the best three-component Gaussian mixture model where the intermediate component refers to a seropositive population.
