## immunoClust EMt-iteration on Cell-events given initial Model Parameters

### Description

Performs EMt-iteration on cell event observations giving initial model parameters and returns the fitted clusters information in an object of class `immunoClust`.

### Usage

    cell.EM(data, parameters=NULL, expName="immunoClust Experiment",
        history=NULL, state=NULL,
        K, w, m, s, B=50, tol=1e-5, bias=0.5, modelName="mvt")

    cell.Estimation(data, parameters=NULL, expName="immunoClust Experiment",
        history=NULL, state=NULL,
        K, w, m, s, modelName="mvt")

### Arguments

`data` | A numeric matrix, data frame of observations, or object of class flowFrame.
`parameters` | A character vector specifying the parameters (columns) to be included in clustering. When it is left unspecified, all the parameters will be used.
`expName` | The name of the clustering experiment.
`history` | experimental; unused so far.
`state` | experimental: unused so far.
`K` | The number of clusters.
`w` | The K-dimensional vector of the mixture proportions.
`m` | The K x P-dimensional matrix of the K estimated cluster means.
`s` | The K x P x P-dimensional matrix of the K estimated cluster covariance matrices.
`B` | The maximum number of EMt-iterations.
`tol` | The tolerance used to assess the convergence of the EMt-algorithms.
`bias` | The ICL-bias used in the EMt-algorithm.
`modelName` | Used mixture model; either `"mvt"` or `"mvn"` for a t- or Gaussian mixture model respectively.

### Details

Whereas `cell.EM` performs a complete EMt-iteration, `cell.Estimate` only calculates the posterior probabilities and the Maximum-A-Posterior estimators of cluster membership for all events.

### Value

The fitted clusters information in an object of class `immunoClust`.
