VarEst: Variance-covariance matrix estimation

In ClickClust: Model-Based Clustering of Categorical Sequences

Description

Estimates the variance-covariance matrix for model parameter estimates.

Usage

click.var(X, y = NULL, alpha, beta = NULL, gamma, z)

Arguments

X	dataset array (p x p x n)
y	vector of initial states (length n)
alpha	vector of mixing proportions (length K)
beta	matrix of initial state probabilities (K x p)
gamma	array of transition probabilities (p x p x K)
z	matrix of posterior probabilities (n x K)

Details

Returns an estimated variance-covariance matrix for model parameter estimates.
