Initial values of censored observations for the NMixMCMC function

Description

This is a help function for NMixMCMC function. If inity is not given, it calculates reasonable initial values for censored observations. If inity argument is given then it is checked for consistency and formatted on output.

THIS FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE CALLED BY ORDINARY USERS.

Usage

NMixMCMCinity(y0, y1, censor, sd.init,
   are.Censored, are.Right, are.Exact, are.Left, are.Interval,
   p, n, inity, random=FALSE)

Arguments

y0	see output from NMixMCMCdata
y1	see output from NMixMCMCdata
censor	see output from NMixMCMCdata
sd.init	a vector of length p with initial values for overall standard deviations in each margin
are.Censored	see output from NMixMCMCdata
are.Right	see output from NMixMCMCdata
are.Exact	see output from NMixMCMCdata
are.Left	see output from NMixMCMCdata
are.Interval	see output from NMixMCMCdata
p	dimension of the data
n	number of observations
inity	a vector (if p=1) or a n\times p matrix (if p \geq 1) of initial values of censored observations to be checked for consistency. If not given then reasonable initials are generated.
random	logical value. If TRUE then some randomness is used when generating initial values.

Value

A n\times p matrix with reasonable initial values for censored observations.
