One Step of EM algorithm {pmclust}

One EM Step for GBD

Description

One EM step only for model-based clustering of finite mixture Gaussian models with unstructured dispersions. This is a core function of em.step.

Usage

  em.onestep(PARAM)

Arguments

PARAM

an original set of parameters generated by set.global.

Details

A global variable called X.spmd should exist in the .pmclustEnv environment, usually the working environment. The X.spmd is the data matrix to be clustered, and this matrix has a dimension N.spmd by p.

The PARAM will be a local variable for the current iteration inside em.onestep, and this variable is a list containing all parameters related to models. This function also updates in the parameters by the EM algorithm, and return a new PARAM for the next iteration. The details of list elements are initially generated by set.global.

Value

This function is one EM step. The global variables will be updated and a new PARAM will be returned. See the help page of PARAM or PARAM.org for details.
