fitNL: Fit Negative Binomial Mixture Model

Description

The function fits a two-component Negative Binomial mixture model.

Usage

fitNL(y, d=NULL, model='E')

Value

A vector consisting parameter estimates of mu1, mu2, phi1, phi2, pi1, logLik and BIC.

Arguments

y

A vector representing the transformed data that follows the normal mixture distribution.

d

A vector of the same length as y representing the normalization constant to be applied to the data.

model

Character specifying E or V model. E model fits the mixture model with equal variance while V model doesn't put any constraint.

Details

This function calls the mclust package to fit the 2-component normal mixture.
