eps

the epsilon to be used for checking null values.

Value

A mixture object as a data frame with a title, row total, if constant, status (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2 or 3 -- see above) and class attributes and the data matrix.

The data files must have the adequate structure:

• 1the first row with a title of the data set,

• 2the second row with variables names

• 3the data set in a matrix, rows as cases, variables in columns with the firs colum comprising cases labels.

A mixture object 'm' consists of m\$tit the title, m\$mat the matrix with the data, m\$sum the value of the rows total, if constant and m\$sta the status of the mixture object with values:

	-2	- matrix contains negative elements,
	-1	- zero row sum exists,
	0	- matrix contains zero elements,
	1	- matrix contains positive elements, rows with different row sum(s),
	2	- matrix with constant row sum and
