Description

Update the prior Dirichlet distribution with sample sufficient statistics

Usage

# S3 method for CatDirichlet
posteriorDiscard_bySufficientStatistics(obj, ss, ...)

Arguments

obj

A "CatDirichlet" object.

ss

Sufficient statistics of x. In Categorical-Dirichlet case the sufficient statistic of sample x can be either x itself, of an "ssCat" object generated by the function sufficientStatistics.CatDirichlet().

...

Additional arguments to be passed to other inherited types.

Value
