EM-test for the order of a finite mixture of normals with equal and known variance.
1 2 |
x |
data, can be either a vector or a matrix with the 1st column being the observed values and the 2nd column being the corresponding frequencies. |
var |
known component variance. |
m0 |
order of the finite mixture model under the null hypothesis, default value: m0 = 1. |
C |
optional tuning parameter for EM-test procedure, default value: C = NULL. (if not provided, it will be determined by the formulas described in Chen and Li, 2011). |
inival |
initial values for the EM-algorithm to compute the MLE under the null model, a 2m0-dimension vector including m0 mixing proportions and m0 component parameters, or a matrix with 2m0 columns, default value: inival = NULL. (if not provided, random initial values are used.) |
len |
number of random initial values for the EM-algorithm, default value: len = 10. |
niter |
number of iterations for all initial values in the EM-algorithm. The algorithm runs EM-iteration niter times from each initial value. The iteration will restart from the parameter value with the highest likelihood value at the point and run until convergence. default value: niter = 50. |
tol |
tolerance level for the convergence of the EM-algorithm, default value: tol = 1e-6. |
k |
number of EM iterations: default value: k = 3. |
rformat |
form of the digital output: default of R package is used when rformat = T; If rformat = T, the digital output is rounded to the 3rd dicimal place if it is larger than 0.001, keeps 3 significant digits otherwise. The default value of rformat is F. |
Return an object of class EM-test with the following elements:
MLE of the parameters under the null hypothesis (order = m0)
