reparam.pi: Reparametrize mixture proportions

In mmds: Mixture Model Distance Sampling (mmds)

Description

Re-parameterise the mixture proportions so that when there is more than a 2-point mixture, the proportions sum to 1.

Usage

  reparam.pi(thetas)

Arguments

thetas

Mixture proportions in their parametrisation for optimization.

Value

a vector of parameters

Notes

See Miller and Thomas for information on exactly how these are calculated. Thanks go to David Borchers for proposing the trick.
