rmixgamma: Generating Random Data From A Gamma Mixture Model

Description

The function rmixgamma generates random data from a Gamma mixture model.

Usage

rmixgamma(n, pi, mu, sd)

Value

The function rmixgamma returns a numeric vector of random data from the specified Gamma mixture model.

Arguments

n

a positive integer specifying the number of observations we want to generate from the mixture model

pi

a numeric vector for the proportion of each component

mu

a numeric vector for the mean of each component

sd

a numeric vector for the standard deviation of each component

Details

The number of random data from each component \(n_0\) (a vector) is generated from a multinomial distribution Multinom\((n, pi)\). Then the random data from each component is generated with the sample sized specified in \(n_0\) and parameters of Gamma distributions specified in mu and sd.
