mixturiseVector: Create Mixture Distribution From Multiple Vectors

In distr6: The Complete R6 Probability Distributions Interface

Create Mixture Distribution From Multiple Vectors

Description

Given m vector distributions of length N, creates a single vector distribution consisting of n mixture distributions mixing the m vectors.

Usage

mixturiseVector(vecdists, weights = "uniform")

Arguments

vecdists	(list()) List of VectorDistributions, should be of same length and with the non-‘distlist’ constructor with the same distribution.
weights	(character(1)|numeric()) Weights passed to MixtureDistribution. Default uniform weighting.

Details

Let v1 = (D11, D12,...,D1N) and v2 = (D21, D22,...,D2N) then the mixturiseVector function creates the vector distribution v3 = (D31, D32, ..., D3N) where D3N = m(D1N, D2N, wN) where m is a mixture distribution with weights wN.

Examples

## Not run: 
v1 <- VectorDistribution$new(distribution = "Binomial", params = data.frame(size = 1:2))
v2 <- VectorDistribution$new(distribution = "Binomial", params = data.frame(size = 3:4))
mv1 <- mixturiseVector(list(v1, v2))

# equivalently
mv2 <- VectorDistribution$new(list(
  MixtureDistribution$new(distribution = "Binomial", params = data.frame(size = c(1, 3))),
  MixtureDistribution$new(distribution = "Binomial", params = data.frame(size = c(2, 4)))
))

mv1$pdf(1:5)
mv2$pdf(1:5)
