\alias{lambda.pert}
\usage{
lambda.pert(lambda, pert)
}
\description{
Perturbs a set of mixing proportions by first scaling the
mixing proporitons, then taking the logit of the scaled values,
perturbing them, and inverting back to produce a set of
new mixing proportions.
}
\arguments{
  \item{lambda}{A vector of length k giving the mixing proportions which
  are to be perturbed.}
  \item{pert}{A vector (likely of length k-1) for which to perturb \code{lambda}.
  If the length is less than k-1, then values of the vector are recycled.  If length
  is greater than k-1, then only the first k-1 values are used.}
}
\value{
  \code{lambda.pert} returns new \code{lambda} values perturbed by \code{pert}.  
}
