stepmixr (version 0.1.2)

bootstrap: Non-parametric bootstrap of StepMix estimator.

Description

Non-parametric boostrap of StepMix estimator. Fit the estimator on X,Y then fit n_repetitions on resampled datasets. Repetition parameters are aligned with the class order of the main estimator.

Usage

# S3 method for stepmix.stepmix.StepMix
bootstrap(x, X = NULL, y = NULL, n_repetitions = 10, ...)
bootstrap(x, ...)

Value

A list containing bootstrap samples of the parameters.

Arguments

x

An object created with the fit function

X

The X matrix or data.frame for the measurement part of the model

y

The Y matrix or data.frame for the structural part of the model

n_repetitions

The number of bootsrap sample

...

For future options. This option is actually unused.

Details

This methods returns a list with bootstrap samples (samples) and the log-likelihood (rep_stats).
