## Empirical Bayes estimate of prior strength for source marker frequencies

### Description

Uses an iterative calculation to estimate an appropriate strength for the flat Dirichlet prior probability for source marker frequencies

### Usage

### Arguments

`sourcesamp` | matrix of source samples
`bold` | starting value for iterations (??)
`cut` | cutoff value for iterations
