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

     Marginal log-likelihood of foreground values for normal +
     exponential model and its derivatives. This function is called by
     'backgroundCorrect' and is not normally called directly by the
     user.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     normexp.m2loglik(theta,foreground,background=0)
     normexp.grad(theta,foreground,background=0)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   theta: numeric vector of parameters

foreground: numeric vector of foreground intensities

background: optional vector of background intensity values

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Computes minus twice the log-likelihood based on the
     $normal(mu,sigma^2)+exponential(alpha)$ convolution model for the
     foreground intensities. The last two elements of 'theta' are
     $\log(sigma)$ and $\log(alpha)$. The other elements are the vector
     $beta$.

     The vector $beta$ is related to $mu$ through $mu=Xbeta$ if
     $X=$'background.matrix' is non-null. Otherwise
     $mu=beta_1+beta_2$'background' if 'background' is non-null. If
     both 'background' and 'background.matrix' are null, then
     $mu=beta_1$.

     'normexp.m2loglik' is minus-twice the log-likelihood.
     'normexp.grad' is the gradient vector.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Numeric scalar giving minus twice the log-likelihood

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

     Jeremy Silver and Gordon Smyth

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     An overview of normalization and background correction functions
     is given in '05.Normalization'.
