logdens: Log Density for Gaussian Mixture Model

Description

Computes the log density for observations in a univariate or multivariate Gaussian mixture model with spherical or diagonal (co)variance that varies across components.

Usage

logdens( x, simData, shrink = 1)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector or matrix for which the log density is to be computed.

simData

Observations from a call to simData, which includes the partition centroids and variance information for the underlying simulation model.

shrink

Shrinkage parameter for the mixture model variance. To be consistent with the shrinkage as described in partProb, the variance is scaled by the square of shrink. The default value is shrink = 1, so that no shrinkage is applied to the variance.

Value

A vector giving the log density of x in the model as specified by simData, with optional shrinkage applied to the variance.

Details

If either radius = 0, or simData returns only centroids (nsim = 0), then no density estimate is attempted.
