posteriorDiscard.DP: Update a "DP" object with sample sufficient statistics

Description

For the model structure: pi|alpha ~ DP(alpha,U) z|pi ~ Categorical(pi) theta_z|psi ~ H0(psi) x|theta_z,z ~ F(theta_z) where DP(alpha,U) is a Dirichlet Process on positive integers, alpha is the "concentration parameter" of the Dirichlet Process, U is the "base measure" of this Dirichlet process. The choice of F() and H0() can be arbitrary, they are distributions of x and theta_z correspondingly. Contrary to posterior(), this function will update the prior knowledge by removing the information of observed samples x. The model structure and prior parameters are stored in a "CatDP" object, the prior parameters in this object will be updated after running this function.

Usage

# S3 method for DP
posteriorDiscard(obj, ss, z, w = NULL, ...)

Arguments

obj

A "DP" object.

ss

Sufficient statistics of x of the "BasicBayesian" object, must be a list of sufficient statistics for each of the observations. Use sufficientStatistics(...,foreach=TRUE) to generate ss. See examples.

z

integer, the partition label of the parameter space where the observation x is drawn from.

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 "ss".

for(i in 1L:length(z)) posterior(obj = obj,ss = ss[[i]],z=z[i])
