em_bic

Compute the BIC value for the optimal model.

A family of novel beta mixture models (BMMs) has been developed by Majumdar et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.01938> to appositely model the beta-valued cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites, to objectively identify methylation state thresholds and to identify the differentially methylated CpG (DMC) sites using a model-based clustering approach. The family of beta mixture models employs different parameter constraints applicable to different study settings. The EM algorithm is used for parameter estimation, with a novel approximation during the M-step providing tractability and ensuring computational feasibility.
