+% [converged, decrease] = em_converged(loglik, previous_loglik, threshold)
+%
+% We have converged if the slope of the log-likelihood function falls below 'threshold', 
+% i.e., |f(t) - f(t-1)| / avg < threshold,
+% where avg = (|f(t)| + |f(t-1)|)/2 and f(t) is log lik at iteration t.
+% 'threshold' defaults to 1e-4.
+%
+% This stopping criterion is from Numerical Recipes in C p423
+%
+% If we are doing MAP estimation (using priors), the likelihood can decrase,
+% even though the mode of the posterior is increasing.
