Arguments

data

A numeric vector, matrix, or data frame of observations. Categorical variables are not allowed. If a matrix or data frame, rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables.

z

A matrix whose [i,k]th entry is the conditional probability of the ith observation belonging to the kth component of the mixture.

prior

Specification of a conjugate prior on the means and variances. The default assumes no prior.

control

A list of control parameters for EM. The defaults are set by the call emControl().

Vinv

An estimate of the reciprocal hypervolume of the data region, when the model is to include a noise term. Set to a negative value or zero if a noise term is desired, but an estimate is unavailable --- in that case function hypvol will be used to obtain the estimate. The default is not to assume a noise term in the model through the setting Vinv=NULL.

warn

A logical value indicating whether or not certain warnings (usually related to singularity) should be issued when the estimation fails. The default is given by mclust.options("warn").

...

Catches unused arguments in indirect or list calls via do.call.

Value

A list including the following components:
