In mixtools: Tools for Analyzing Finite Mixture Models

Plotting sequences of estimates from non- or semiparametric EM-like Algorithm

Description

Returns plots of the sequences of scalar parameter estimates along iterations from an object of class npEM.

Usage

  ## S3 method for class 'npEM'
plotseq(x, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class npEM, as output by npEM or spEMsymloc
...	further parameters that are passed to plot

Details

plotseq.npEM returns a figure with one plot for each component proportion, and, in the case of spEMsymloc, one plot for each component mean.

Examples

## Example from a normal location mixture
n <- 200
set.seed(100)
lambda <- c(1/3,2/3)
mu <- c(0, 4); sigma<-rep(1, 2)
x <- rnormmix(n, lambda, mu, sigma)
b <- spEMsymloc(x, mu0=c(-1, 2), stochastic=FALSE)
plotseq(b)
bst <- spEMsymloc(x, mu0=c(-1, 2), stochastic=TRUE)
plotseq(bst)
