_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     An object of class 'icsurv' must contain the following components:

_c_o_n_v_e_r_g_e A boolean indicating whether the iteration producing 'pf'
     converged.

_p_f  The probability vector.

     It can optionally contain any of the following components:

_c_l_m_a_t  The clique matrix used to obtain 'pf'.

_i_n_t_m_a_p The real representations of the support for the components of
     'pf'.

_i_t_e_r  A matrix containing every iterative estimate of 'pf', useful for
     debugging.

_l_v_a_l The value of the *log* likelihood at 'pf'.

_n_u_m_i_t_e_r The number of iterations taken.

_s_i_g_m_a The cumulative sum of 'pf'.

_w_e_i_g_h_t_s Weights used in the EMICM algorithm.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):
