DirichletProcessCreate: Create a Dirichlet Process object

In dirichletprocess: Build Dirichlet Process Objects for Bayesian Modelling

Create a Dirichlet Process object

Description

Using a previously created Mixing Distribution Object (mdObject) create a Dirichlet process object. 'alphaPriorParameters sets the parameters for alpha using the shape-rate specification of the gamma distribution.

Usage

DirichletProcessCreate(
  x,
  mdObject,
  alphaPriorParameters = c(1, 1),
  mhDraws = 250
)

Arguments

x	Data
mdObject	Mixing Distribution Object
alphaPriorParameters	Prior parameters for the concentration parameter of the Dirichlet Process
mhDraws	Number of posterior samples to take in the nonconjugate case
