[R] Estimates at each iteration

[Jonathan P Daily]

I'm assuming that English is not your first language. In light of that, I 
would suggest that you post your question in a language that we both 
speak: R. Please include:

1) E-step and M-step functions.
2) The proposed optim/maxLik call.

Mostly because (at least optim) does not have a parameter called 
"limiter".
