Mixture distributions arise inmany application areas, for example, as marginal distributions or convolutions of distributions. We present amethod of constructing an easily tractable discretemixture distribution as an approximation to a mixture distribution with a large to infinite number, discrete or continuous, of components. The proposed DIRECT (divergence restricting conditional tesselation) algorithm is set up such that a prespecified precision, defined in terms of Kullback-Leibler divergence between true distribution and approximation, is guaranteed. Application of the algorithm is demonstrated in two examples. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
