momMixR Documentation

Compute Posterior Expectation of Normal Mixture Model Moments

Description

momMix averages the moments of a normal mixture model over MCMC draws.

Usage

momMix(probdraw, compdraw)

Arguments

probdraw

R x ncomp list of draws of mixture probs

compdraw

list of length R of draws of mixture component moments

Details

R is the number of MCMC draws in argument list above.
ncomp is the number of mixture components fitted.
compdraw is a list of lists of lists with mixture components.
compdraw[[i]] is ith draw.
compdraw[[i]][[j]][[1]] is the mean parameter vector for the jth component, ith MCMC draw.
compdraw[[i]][[j]][[2]] is the UL decomposition of \Sigma^{-1} for the jth component, ith MCMC draw

Value

A list containing:

mu

posterior expectation of mean

sigma

posterior expectation of covariance matrix

sd

posterior expectation of vector of standard deviations

corr

posterior expectation of correlation matrix

Warning

This routine is a utility routine that does not check the input arguments for proper dimensions and type.
