mstep {sonicLength}

M-step to maximize theta

Description

This is a utility function for maxEM

Usage

mstep(x, theta, phi)

Arguments

x

a zero-one indicator matrix whose rows correspond to unique lengths with rownames indicating those lengths

theta

a vector of the abundance estimates. length(theta)==ncol(x)

phi

a vector of the probabilities of sonicant lengths. length(phi)==nrow(x)

Details

The M-step for theta is computed. Probably, there is no need to use this function directly, but just in case it is here.

Value

a vector like the input theta
