nonpar_mstep: the M step function of the EM algorithm

Description

The M step function of the EM algorithm for the mixture of splines nonparametric density estimator

Usage

nonpar_mstep(x, wt, control = list(K = 5, lambda0 = 0.5))

Value

list of emission (nonparametric mixture of splines) parameters: (coef)

Arguments

x

the observation matrix

wt

the state probabilities matrix (number of observations times number of states)

control

the parameters to control the M-step function. The simillar name is chosen with that of dnonpar, to be used in ... argument of the hhsmmfit function. Here, it contains the following items:

• K the degrees of freedom for the B-spline, default is K=5

• lambda0 the initial value of the smoothing parameter, default is lambda0=0.5
