calcNumEff: Calculates Inefficiency Factors of the MCMC Draws Obtained...

In bayesMCClust: Mixtures-of-Experts Markov Chain Clustering and Dirichlet Multinomial Clustering

Description

Calculates the inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws using numEff from the R package bayesm (see References).

Usage

calcNumEff(outList, thin = 1, printXi = TRUE, printE = TRUE, 
           printBeta = TRUE, 
           grLabels = paste("Group", 1:outList$Prior$H))

Arguments

outList	specifies a list containing the outcome (return value) of an MCMC run of mcClust, dmClust, mcClustExtended, dmClustExtended or MNLAuxMix.
thin	An integer specifying the thinning parameter (default is 1).
printXi	If TRUE (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the cluster-specific transition matrices is generated and also printed.
printE	If TRUE (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the cluster-specific parameter matrices is generated and also printed.
printBeta	If TRUE (default) a LaTeX-style table containing the inefficiency factors of the MNL regression coefficients is generated and also printed.
grLabels	A character vector giving user-specified names for the clusters/groups.

Value

A list containing tables of inefficiency factors:

numEffXi[h]m	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for each row j=1,...,K+1 of the cluster-specific transition matrices ξ_{h,j.} for each cluster/group.
numEffEhm	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for each row j=1,…,K+1 of the cluster-specific parameter matrices (only for DMC[Ext]) e_{h,j.} for each cluster/group.
numEffBeta	Inefficiency factors of the MCMC draws obtained for the MNL regression coefficients for each cluster.

Note

Note, that in contrast to the literature (see References), the numbering (labelling) of the states of the categorical outcome variable (time series) in this package is sometimes 0,...,K (instead of 1,...,K), however, there are K+1 categories (states)!
