Description: A family of novel beta mixture models (BMMs) has been
        developed by Majumdar et al. (2022)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.01938> to appositely model the
        beta-valued cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites, to
        objectively identify methylation state thresholds and to
        identify the differentially methylated CpG (DMC) sites using a
        model-based clustering approach. The family of beta mixture
        models employs different parameter constraints applicable to
        different study settings. The EM algorithm is used for
        parameter estimation, with a novel approximation during the
        M-step providing tractability and ensuring computational
        feasibility.
