<h2>
Purpose
</h2>
Computes the gradient of the negative log likelihood for a mixture model.

<p><h2>
Synopsis
</h2>
<PRE>
g = demgpot(x, mix)</PRE>


<p><h2>
Description
</h2>
This function computes the gradient of the negative log of the unconditional data
density <CODE>p(x)</CODE> with respect to the coefficients of the
data vector <CODE>x</CODE> for a Gaussian mixture model.  The data structure
<CODE>mix</CODE> defines the mixture model, while the matrix <CODE>x</CODE> contains
the data vector as a row vector. Note the unusual order of the arguments:
this is so that the function can be used in <CODE>demhmc1</CODE> directly for
sampling from the distribution <CODE>p(x)</CODE>.
