Description

Performs a Finite Mixture Censored multivariate (FM-MC) Student-t and Normal distribution using using EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters.

CensMmix(cc, y, nu=3, mu=NULL, Sigma = NULL, pii = NULL, g = NULL, get.init = TRUE,
         criteria = TRUE, group = FALSE, family = "Normal", error = 0.0001,
         iter.max = 300, uni.Sigma = FALSE, obs.prob= FALSE, kmeans.param = NULL)

Arguments

cc

Vector of censoring indicators. For each observation: 0 if non-censored, 1 if censored.

y

Vector of responses in case of right censoring.

nu

Initial value for the EM algorithm, nu it's degrees of freedom. Value of one size 1 (If Student's t)

mu

Initial value for the EM algorithm. Each of them must be a vector of length g.(the algorithm considers the number of components to be fitted based on the size of these vectors)

Sigma

a list of g arguments of matrices of initial values (dimension pxp) for the scale parameters

pii

Initial value for the EM algorithm. The vector of initial values (dimension g) for the weights for each cluster. Must sum one!

g

Numbers of components

get.init

TRUE or FALSE. It indicates if the program (TRUE) is get the initial values or if the user (FALSE) entered manually the initial values.

criteria

It indicates if are calculated the criterion selection methods (AIC, BIC, EDC and ICL)

group

TRUE or FALSE.

family

"t": fits a t-student regression mixture for censured data or "Normal": fits a Normal regression mixture censored data

error

define the stopping criterion of the algorithm

iter.max

the maximum number of iterations of the EM algorithm

uni.Sigma

TRUE: if the covariance matrix are equals or FALSE if are not equal

obs.prob

TRUE or FALSE.

kmeans.param

Parameters for the k-means clustering algorithm
