split_comp: Split a mixture component of a Gaussian mixture model
Description
This function splits a mixture component of a Gaussian mixture model using
the singular value decomposition of the covariance matrix (Zhang
et al., 2003).
Usage
split_comp(gmm, comp = 1, n_sub = 2, space = 0.5)
Value
The gmm object after splitting the mixture component.
Arguments
gmm
An object of class gmm.
comp
An integer corresponding to the index of the split mixture
component.
n_sub
A positive integer corresponding to the number of subcomponents.
space
A numeric value in [0, 1[ corresponding to the space between the
subcomponents.
