[R] Overlapping distributions (populations) - assigning an individual to a population?

[Phil Rhoades]

People,

Say a particular measure of an attribute for individuals in different
populations gives a set of overlapping normal distributions (one
distribution per population).  If I then measure this attribute in a new
individual - how do I assess the likelihood of this new individual
belonging to each of the different populations?

Thanks,

Phil.
