check_pM checks that the arguments p and M are correctly set.
check_pM(p, M, model = c("GMAR", "StMAR", "G-StMAR"))Doesn't return anything but throws an informative error if something is wrong.
a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components.
a size (2x1) integer vector specifying the number of GMAR type components M1 in the
first element and StMAR type components M2 in the second element. The total number of mixture components is M=M1+M2.
is "GMAR", "StMAR", or "G-StMAR" model considered? In the G-StMAR model, the first M1 components
are GMAR type and the rest M2 components are StMAR type.
