Sample from a Dirichlet distribution

Sample finite-dimensional vectors to use as latent position vectors in random dot product graphs

Usage
sample_dirichlet(n, alpha)
Arguments
n

Integer scalar, the sample size.

alpha

Numeric vector, the vector of $\alpha$ parameter for the Dirichlet distribution.

Details

sample_dirichlet generates samples from the Dirichlet distribution with given $\alpha$ parameter. The sample is drawn from length(alpha)-1-simplex.

Value

A dim (length of the alpha vector for sample_dirichlet) times n matrix, whose columns are the sample vectors.

Other latent position vector samplers: sample_sphere_surface; sample_sphere_volume

lpvs.dir    <- sample_dirichlet(n=20, alpha=rep(1, 10))
RDP.graph.2 <- sample_dot_product(lpvs.dir)
colSums(lpvs.dir)
# }
