Logical value denoting the parameterization of the error variance per component. If TRUE, the parameterization \(\Sigma_1 = \ldots = \Sigma_K\) is fitted.
The prior Dirichlet parameters for each chain.
The observed data as an \(n\times p\) matrix. Clustering is performed on the rows of the matrix.
Name of the output folder.
Number of components in the overfitted mixture. Default: 20.
Number of MCMC cycles. Each cycle consists of nIterPerCycle MCMC iterations. At the end of each cycle a swap of the state of two randomly chosen adjacent chains is attempted.
Number of cycles that will be discarded as burn-in period.
Prior parameter \(g\). Default value: \(g = 2\).
Prior parameter \(h\). Default value: \(h = 1\).
Prior parameter \(\alpha\). Default value: \(\alpha = 2\).
Prior parameter \(\beta\). Default value: \(\beta = 1\).
Number of factors \(q\), where \(1 \leq q \leq L\). An error is thrown if the Ledermann bound (\(L\)) is exceeded.
Should the observed data be normalized? Default value: TRUE.
Optional integer denoting the thinning of the keeped MCMC cycles.
Optional starting value for the allocation vector.
Number of iteration per MCMC cycle. Default value: 10.
Select the gibbs sampling scheme for updating latent allocations of mixture model. Default value: 1.
Number of iterations for the overfitting initialization scheme. Default value: 100.
Number of iterations that will be used to initialize the models before starting proposing switchings. Default value: 500.
Logical value indicating whether the chains are initialized via the overfitting initialization scheme. Default: TRUE.
Logical value indicating whether to plot successive states of the chains while the sampler runs. Default: FALSE.
Initialization parameter. Default: 0.05.
logical value indicating whether a lower triangular parameterization should be imposed on the matrix of factor loadings (if TRUE) or not. Default: TRUE.
