\title{Merge two Gaussian components into one.}
\description{
Merges \emph{i}th and \emph{j}th components of Gaussian mixture
model. Implemented in the same venue as in
\code{\link[fpc]{mergeparameters}} of \code{fpc}.
}
\usage{
gmm_merge_components( x, p, i, j )
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{data vector}
\item{p}{
vector of Gaussian mixture parameters. Structure of p vector is
p = c( A1, A2, ..., A\emph{n}, mu1, mu2, ..., mu\emph{n}, k1, k2, ..., k\emph{n} ),
where \emph{n} is number of mixture components,
A\emph{i} is the proportion of \emph{i}-th component,
mu\emph{i} is the center of \emph{i}-th component,
k\emph{i} is the concentration of \emph{i}-th component.
}
\item{i}{
index of the first component to be merged. Component with this
index will be replaced by a merged one in the output.
}
\item{j}{
index of the second component to be merged. Component with this
index will be removed in the output.
}
}
\value{
Vector of mixture parameters, whose structure is the same as of input
parameter's p.
