The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the general modeling and practical simulation of random equations with mixture model parameter random variables. Random equations, understood as stationary (non-dynamical) equations with parameters as random variables, have a long history and a broad range of applications. The specific novelty of this explorative study lies on the demonstration of the combinatorial complexity of these equations with mixture model parameters. In a Bayesian argumentation framework we derive a general likelihood function and posterior density of approximate best fit solutions while avoiding significant restrictions about the type of nonlinearity of the equation or mixture models, and demonstrate their numerically efficient implementation for the applied researcher. In the results section, we are specifically focusing on expressive example simulations of approximate likelihood/posterior solutions for random linear equation systems, nonlinear systems of random conic section equations, as well as applications to portfolio optimization, stochastic control and random matrix theory in order to show the wide applicability of the presented methodology.
