X |
Numeric vector of length n representing the covariates/inputs x_{1},…,x_{n}. |
Y |
Numeric vector of length n representing the observed response/output y_{1},…,y_{n}. |
K |
The number of experts. |
p |
Optional. The order of the polynomial regression for the experts. |
q |
Optional. The order of the logistic regression for the gating network. |
n_tries |
Optional. Number of runs of the ECM algorithm. The solution providing the highest log-likelihood will be returned. |
max_iter |
Optional. The maximum number of iterations for the ECM algorithm. |
threshold |
Optional. A numeric value specifying the threshold for the relative difference of log-likelihood between two steps of the ECM as stopping criteria. |
verbose |
Optional. A logical value indicating whether or not values of the log-likelihood should be printed during ECM iterations. |
verbose_IRLS |
Optional. A logical value indicating whether or not values of the criterion optimized by IRLS should be printed at each step of the ECM algorithm. |
emStMoE function implements the ECM algorithm for the StMoE model.
This function starts with an initialization of the parameters done by the
method initParam
of the class ParamStMoE, then it
alternates between the E-Step (method of the class StatStMoE)
and the M-Step (method of the class ParamStMoE) until
convergence (until the relative variation of log-likelihood between two
steps of the ECM algorithm is less than the threshold
parameter).
ECM returns an object of class ModelStMoE.
