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

Description

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

  • (Sigma_MAP) = argmax p(Sigma|v,S,x,mu)

Usage

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

Arguments

obj

A "GaussianInvWishart" object.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to other inherited types.

Value

matrix, the MAP estimate of "Sigma".
