Description

This is a generic function that will generate the the density value of the posterior predictive distribution. i.e. for the model structure:

theta|gamma \sim H(gamma)

x|theta \sim F(theta)

get the probability density/mass of the posterior predictive distribution of a new sample x_new: p(x_new|gamma). For a given Bayesian bricks object obj and a new sample x, dPosteriorPredictive() will calculate the marginal likelihood for different model structures:

class(obj)="LinearGaussianGaussian"

Where

x \sim Gaussian(A z + b, Sigma)

z \sim Gaussian(m,S)

dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|m,S,A,b,Sigma) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.LinearGaussianGaussian for details.

class(obj)="GaussianGaussian"

Where

x \sim Gaussian(mu,Sigma)

mu \sim Gaussian(m,S)

Sigma is known. dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|m,S,Sigma) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.GaussianGaussian for details.

class(obj)="GaussianInvWishart"

Where

x \sim Gaussian(mu,Sigma)

Sigma \sim InvWishart(v,S)

mu is known. dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|mu,v,S) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.GaussianInvWishart for details.

class(obj)="GaussianNIW"

Where

x \sim Gaussian(mu,Sigma)

Sigma \sim InvWishart(v,S)

mu \sim Gaussian(m,Sigma/k)

dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|m,k,v,S) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.GaussianNIW for details.

class(obj)="GaussianNIG"

Where

x \sim Gaussian(X beta,sigma^2)

sigma^2 \sim InvGamma(a,b)

beta \sim Gaussian(m,sigma^2 V)

X is a row vector, or a design matrix where each row is an obervation. dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x,X|m,V,a,b) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.GaussianNIG for details.

class(obj)="CatDirichlet"

Where

x \sim Categorical(pi)

pi \sim Dirichlet(alpha)

dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|alpha) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.CatDirichlet for details.

class(obj)="CatDP"

Where

x \sim Categorical(pi)

pi \sim DirichletProcess(alpha)

dPosteriorPredictive() will return p(x|alpha) See ?dPosteriorPredictive.CatDP for details.
