inv.reparam.pi: Reparametrize mixture proportions

Description

Re-parameterise the mixture proportions so that when there is more than a 2-point mixture, the proportions sum to 1.

Usage

inv.reparam.pi(mix.prop, lastpar = FALSE)

Arguments

mix.prop

A set of mixture proportions.

lastpar

Is the last parameter provided, i.e. does sum(mix.prop)=1?

Value

a vector of parameters

Notes

See Miller and Thomas for information on exactly how these are calculated. Thanks go to David Borchers for proposing the trick.
