KinMixLite (version 2.2.1)

mixMLX: Maximises mixture likelihood when extra findings present

Description

Replacement for mixML in DNAmixturesLite that calls logLX instead of logL.

Usage

mixMLX(mixture, expr.extra.findings, pars, constraints = NULL, phi.eq = FALSE, 
    val = NULL, trace = FALSE, order.unknowns = TRUE, initialize = FALSE, ...)

Value

A list containing

mle

The (suggested) MLE.

lik

The log of the likelihood (log e).

as well as the output from the optimisation.

Arguments

mixture

Compiled DNAmixture object.

expr.extra.findings

expression containing the extra findings

pars

Parameters, in mixpar format.
