mergeComponents: Merge GMM Components with Highly Overlapping Support

In GESTr: Gene Expression State Transformation

Description

Function to merge GMM components with predominantly overlapping support

Usage

mergeComponents(model,overlap)

Arguments

model	An object of class Mclust, produced by the function fitGMM
overlap	A numeric value specifying the classification score threshold: minimum value of model$z for a value to be considered as supported by a given mixture component.

Details

Identifies GMM components with sufficiently overlapping support, if for those components the average E-M classification score across all points with a maximum score corresponding to any of those components is greater than the specified threshold.

Value

List where each element is a vector of indices specifying components from input model to merge together in gene expression state estimation.
