View source: R/MLE_sNiW.R

Description

Maximum likelihood estimation of Normal inverse Wishart distributed observations

Usage

1
MLE_sNiW(xi_list, psi_list, S_list, doPlot = TRUE)

Arguments

xi_list

a list of length N whose elements are observed vectors of length d of the mean parameters xi.

psi_list

a list of length N whose elements are observed vectors of length d of the skew parameters psi.

S_list

a list of length N whose elements are observed variance-covariance matrices of dimension d x d.

doPlot

a logical flag indicating whether the algorithm progression should be plotted. Default is TRUE.
