vdummy

Transform a factor variable to a matrix of dummy variables

A generic function for running the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm
within a maximum likelihood framework, based on Dempster, Laird, and Rubin (1977) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1977.tb01600.x>
is implemented. It can be applied after a model fitting using R's existing functions and packages.
