Logical. If TRUE, prints out the execution time.

Value

• The function returns a list with the following components:
• xx
  Numeric vector. Evaluation grid.
• qx
  Numeric array. Matrix of dimension $\texttt{Nx} \times (\texttt{length(probs)} + 1)$ with the posterior mean and the desired quantiles input in probs.
• cpo
  Numeric vector of length(x) with conditional predictive ordinates.
• R
  Numeric vector of length(Nit*(1-Pbi)) with the number of mixtures components (clusters).
• U
  Numeric vector of length(Nit*(1-Pbi)) with the values of the latent variable U.
• Nx
  Integer constant. Number of grid points for the evaluation of the density estimate.
• Nit
  Integer constant. Number of MCMC iterations.
• Pbi
  Numeric constant. Burn-in period proportion of Nit.
• procTime
  Numeric vector with execution time provided by proc.time function.

Warning

The function is computing intensive. Be patient.

Details

This generic function fits a normalized random measure (NRMI) mixture model for density estimation (James et al. 2009). Specifically, the model assumes a normalized generalized gamma (NGG) prior for both, locations (means) and standard deviations, of the mixture kernel, leading to a fully nonparametric mixture model. The details of the model are: $$X_i|Y_i,Z_i \sim k(\cdot|Y_i,Z_i)$$ $$(Y_i,Z_i)|P \sim P, i=1,\dots,n$$ $$P \sim \textrm{NGG}(\texttt{Alpha, Beta, Gama; P\_0})$$ where, $X_i$'s are the observed data, $(Y_i,Z_i)$'s are bivariate latent (location and scale) vectors, k is a parametric kernel parameterized in terms of mean and standard deviation, (Alpha, Beta, Gama; P_0) are the parameters of the NGG prior with a bivariate P_0 being the centering measure. In particular, NGG(Alpha, 1, 0; P_0) defines a Dirichlet process; NGG(1, Beta, 1/2;P_0) defines a Normalized inverse Gaussian process; and NGG(1, 0, Gama; P_0) defines a normalized stable process. The bivariate measure P_0 is assumed to have independent components, that is, $P_0(Y,Z) = P_0(Y)*P_0(Z)$. The evaluation grid ranges from min(x) - epsilon to max(x) + epsilon. By default epsilon=sd(x)/4.
