A data modeling procedure called Mixture model, is introduced beneficial to the characteristics of our data. Mixture models have been proved flexible and easy to use, a situation which can be confirmed from the majority of papers and books which have been published the last twenty years. The models are estimated using a Bayesian inference through an efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, known as Gibbs Sampling. The focus of the paper is on models for network-telecommunication lab data (not time dependent data) and on the valid predictions we can accomplish. We categorize our variables (based on their distribution) in three cases, a mixture of Normal distributions with known allocation, a mixture of Negative Binomial Distributions with known allocations and a mixture of Normal distributions with unknown allocation.
