Directional (version 2.2)

Mixtures of Von Mises-Fisher distributions: Mixtures of Von Mises-Fisher distributions

Description

It performs model based clustering for circualr, spherical and hyperspherical data assuming von Mises-Fisher distributions.

Usage

mix.vmf(x, g)

Arguments

x

A matrix with the data expressed as unit vectors.

g

The number of groups to fit. It must be greater than or equal to 2.

Value

A list including: A list including:

Details

The initial step of the algorithm is not based on a spherical k-means, but on s imple k-means. The results are comparable to the package movMF.
