NMixMCMCinity: Initial values of censored observations for the NMixMCMC function

Description

This is a help function for NMixMCMC function. If inity is not given, it calculates reasonable initial values for censored observations. If inity argument is given then it is checked for consistency and formatted on output.

THIS FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE CALLED BY ORDINARY USERS.

Usage

NMixMCMCinity(y0, y1, censor, sd.init,
   are.Censored, are.Right, are.Exact, are.Left, are.Interval,
   p, n, inity, random=FALSE)

Arguments

y0

see output from NMixMCMCdata

y1

see output from NMixMCMCdata

censor

see output from NMixMCMCdata

sd.init

a vector of length $p$ with initial values for overall standard deviations in each margin

are.Censored

see output from NMixMCMCdata

are.Right

see output from NMixMCMCdata

are.Exact

see output from NMixMCMCdata

are.Left

see output from NMixMCMCdata

are.Interval

see output from NMixMCMCdata

p

dimension of the data

n

number of observations

inity

a vector (if $p=1$) or a $n\times p$ matrix (if $p \geq 1$) of initial values of censored observations to be checked for consistency. If not given then reasonable initials are generated.

random

logical value. If TRUE then some randomness is used when generating initial values.

Value

• A $n\times p$ matrix with reasonable initial values for censored observations.
