MAP.GaussianGaussian: Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimate of a "GaussianGaussian" object

Description

Generate the MAP estimate of mu in following model structure: $$x \sim Gaussian(mu,Sigma)$$ $$mu \sim Gaussian(m,S)$$ Where Sigma is known. Gaussian() is the Gaussian distribution. See ?dGaussian for the definition of Gaussian distribution. The model structure and prior parameters are stored in a "GaussianGaussian" object. The MAP estimates are:

• (mu_MAP) = argmax p(mu|m,S,x,Sigma)

Usage

# S3 method for GaussianGaussian
MAP(obj, ...)

Arguments

obj

A "GaussianGaussian" object.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to other inherited types.

Value

numeric vector, the MAP estimate of "mu".

Examples

# NOT RUN {
obj <- GaussianGaussian(gamma=list(Sigma=matrix(c(2,1,1,2),2,2),m=c(0.2,0.5),S=diag(2)))
x <- rGaussian(100,c(0,0),Sigma = matrix(c(2,1,1,2),2,2))
ss <- sufficientStatistics(obj=obj,x=x,foreach = FALSE)
## update prior into posterior
posterior(obj = obj,ss = ss)
## get the MAP estimate of mu
MAP(obj)
