sufficientStatistics.GaussianNIW: Sufficient statistics of a "GaussianNIW" object

In bbricks: Bayesian Methods and Graphical Model Structures for Statistical Modeling

Description

For following Gaussian-NIW model structure:

mu,Sigma|m,k,v,S \sim NIW(m,k,v,S)

x|mu,Sigma \sim Gaussian(mu,Sigma)

Where NIW() is the Normal-Inverse-Wishart distribution, Gaussian() is the Gaussian distribution. See ?dNIW and dGaussian for the definitions of these distribution.
The sufficient statistics of a set of samples x (each row of x is a sample) are:

• the effective number of samples N=nrow(x)

• the sample sum xsum = colSums(x)

• the uncentered scatter matrix S = t(x)

Usage

## S3 method for class 'GaussianNIW'
sufficientStatistics(obj, x, foreach = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

obj	A "GaussianNIW" object.
x	matrix, Gaussian samples, when x is a matrix, each row is a sample of dimension ncol(x). when x is a vector, x is length(x) samples of dimension 1.
foreach	logical, if foreach=TRUE, will return a list of sufficient statistics for each row of x, otherwise will return the sufficient statistics of x as a whole.
...	Additional arguments to be passed to other inherited types.

Value

If foreach=TRUE, will return a list of sufficient statistics for each row of x, otherwise will return the sufficient statistics of x as a whole.
