mcmcestfix-class: Finmix 'mcmcestfix' class

Description Slots See Also

Description

This class stores the point estimators for component parameters and weights as well as corresponding information from MCMC sampling. Three point estimators are calculated: the maximum a posterior (MAP), the Bayesian maximum likelihood (BML) and the Identified ergodic average (IEAVG). See Fr\"uhwirth-Schnatter (2006) for detailed information about how these estimators are defined.

Slots

dist

A character specifying the distribution family of the mixture model used in MCMC sampling.

K

An integer specifying the number of components in the mixture model.

indicmod

A character specifying the indicator model. At this moment only a multinomial model can be chosen.

burnin

An integer specifying the number of iterations in the burn-in phase of MCMC sampling.

M

An integer specifying the number of iterations to store in MCMC sampling.

ranperm

A logical specifying, if random permutation has been used during MCMC sampling.

relabel

A character specifying the re-labeling algorithm used during parameter estimation for the identified ergodic average.

map

A named list containing the parameter estimates of the MAP. The element par is a named list and contains the component parameters and the element weight contains the weights.

bml

A named list containing the parameter estimates of the BML. The element par is a named list and contains the component parameters and the element weight contains the weights.

ieavg

A named list containing the parameter estimates of the IEAVG. The element par is a named list and contains the component parameters and the element weight contains the weights.

sdpost

A named list containing the standard deviations of the parameter estimates from the posterior distributions.
