Is it possible to retrive other than the best Dirichlet components?

I run microbiota analysis with library(DirichletMultinomial) and fit the count data to values of k from 1 to 15. I got the best result for k = 5. You can view the plot: Model fit as a function of Dirichlet component number received. However I would like to subset my data for k = 7.

Is it possible to do so, and how?

Can anyone help?

Best regards, Marcin
