posterior.CatHDP: Update a "CatHDP" object with sample sufficient statistics

Description

For the model structure: G_j|gamma ~ DP(gamma,U), j = 1:J pi_j|G_j,alpha ~ DP(alpha,G_j) z|pi_j ~ Categorical(pi_j) k|z,G_j ~ Categorical(G_j), if z is a sample from the base measure G where DP(gamma,U) is a Dirichlet Process on integers, gamma is the concentration parameter of the Dirichlet Process. DP(gamma,G_j) is a Dirichlet Process on integers with concentration parameter alpha and base measure G_j. In the case of CatHDP, z and k can only be positive integers. Update the prior knowledge by adding the information of newly observed samples z and k. The model structure and prior parameters are stored in a "CatHDP" object, the prior parameters in this object will be updated after running this function.

Usage

# S3 method for CatHDP
posterior(obj, ss1, ss2, j, w = NULL, ...)

Arguments

obj

A "CatHDP" object.

ss1

Sufficient statistics of k. In CatHDP case the sufficient statistic of sample k is k itself(if k is a integer vector with all positive values).

ss2

Sufficient statistics of z. In CatHDP case the sufficient statistic of sample z is z itself(if z is a integer vector with all positive values).

j

integer, group label.

w

Sample weights, default NULL.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to other inherited types.

Value

None. the model stored in "obj" will be updated based on "ss1" and "ss2".
