Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also

Expectation maximization (EM) algorithm for estimating two-component Gaussian mixtures with different mixture proportions for cases and controls (two component unconstrained model). This is used as an internal method and is called from bc.twocomp.

em.twocomp.m3(x.all, case.indicator, max.iters = 1000, errtol = 1e-09, 

control.comp = 1, start.vals=NULL)

`x.all`	vector of cases and controls
`case.indicator`	a vector of equal length to x.all with 1's in the case positions and 0's in the control positions
`max.iters`	the maximum number of iterations to run
`errtol`	Error tolerance level. Approximates convergence of the maximum log likelihood value.
`control.comp`	indicator of which component contains the controls (1 or 2)
`start.vals`	starting values for the EM algorithm. If `NA`, the starting values are estimated from the data.

`max.loglike`	the maximum log likelihood value for the algorithm
`mu`	estimated means for each component
`sig`	estimated standard deviations for each component
`pi.cs`	estimated proportion of cases in each component
`pi.ctrl`	estimated proportion of controls in each component
`n.iters`	the number of iterations the algorithm took to converge
`control.comp`	indicator of which component contains the controls (1 or 2)
