Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also

View source: R/mixpar2theta.R

Description

When there are constraints on parameters, we only estimate some parameters in terms of the constraints. This function is to find the parameters to be estimated. See the reference for details.

Usage

1
mixpar2theta(mixpar, constr, mixprop = TRUE) 

Arguments

mixpar

A data frame containing the values for parameters of component distributions, which are, in order, the proportions, means, and standard deviations.

constr

a list of constraints on parameters of component distributions.

mixprop

if TRUE, the proportions will be estimated.

Value

A vector containing the values for the parameters to be estimated.
