hypvolgmm_hdlevel: Default HDR level defining the GMM hull

In mclustAddons: Addons for the 'mclust' Package

Default HDR level defining the GMM hull

Description

Compute default HDR level used to define the GMM hull. This is obtained by fitting a two-segment piecewise linear regression model (i.e., single change point model) to a grid of (\alpha, h_\alpha) values with \alpha in [0.9, 1].

Usage

hypvolgmm_hdlevel(dens, ...)

Arguments

dens	A vector of density estimates for the n observed data points.
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

Returns a list containing the following elements:

• alpha A vector of alpha values specifying the HDR levels.

• h_alpha A vector of HDR density values corresponding to alpha.

• pcwsreg The two-segment piecewise linear regression model.

• hdl The optimal HDR level selected as the change-point value.

• h The HDR density values corresponding to the optimal HDR level.

x = subset(faithful, eruptions > 3)
mod = densityMclust(x, plot = FALSE)
out = hypvolgmm_hdlevel(mod$density)

        pcwsreg$a1 * alpha[1:pcwsreg$c] + pcwsreg$b1,
        lty = 2, lwd = 2, col = "red2")
  lines(alpha[pcwsreg$c:length(alpha)],
        pcwsreg$a2 * alpha[pcwsreg$c:length(alpha)] + pcwsreg$b2,
        lty = 2, lwd = 2, col = "red2")
  abline(v = hdl, lty = 3, col = "red2", lwd = 2)
