initial0

The functions examines whether the initial values are
 proper. If not, proper ones are provided, by employing the
 function "initial" provided by the class.

Mainly for maximum likelihood estimation of nonparametric
and semiparametric mixture models, but can also be used
for fitting finite mixtures. The algorithms are
developed in Wang (2007)
<doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00583.x> and Wang (2010)
<doi:10.1007/s11222-009-9117-z>.
