dridgeline: Density along the ridgeline

Description

Computes the density of a two-component Gaussian mixture along the ridgeline (Ray and Lindsay, 2005), along which all its density extrema are located.

Usage

dridgeline(alpha=seq(0,1,0.001), prop,
                          mu1, mu2, Sigma1, Sigma2, showplot=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

alpha
sequence of values between 0 and 1 for which the density is computed.
prop
mixture proportion of first component.
mu1
mean vector of component 1.
mu2
mean vector of component 2.
Sigma1
covariance matrix of component 1.
Sigma2
covariance matrix of component 2.
showplot
logical. If TRUE, the density is plotted against alpha.
...
further arguments to be passed on to plot.

Value

  • Vector of density values for values of alpha.
