Mixture of Student-t Distributions
Description
Density function or random generation for an adaptive mixture of Student-t distributions
Usage
dMit(theta, mit = list(), log = TRUE)
rMit(N = 1, mit = list())
Arguments
theta |
matrix (of size |
mit |
list containing information on the mixture approximation (see *Details*). |
log |
logical; if |
N |
number of draws (positive integer number). |
Details
dMit
returns the density values while rMit
generates
draws from a mixture of Student-t distributions.
The argument mit
is a list containing information on the
adaptive mixture of Student-t distributions. The following components must
be provided:
p
vector (of length
H
) of mixture probabilities.mu
matrix (of size
H \times d
) containing the vectors of modes (in row) of the mixture components.Sigma
matrix (of size
H \times d^2
) containing the scale matrices (in row) of the mixture components.df
degrees of freedom parameter of the Student-t components (integer number not smaller than one).
where H (\geq 1)
is the number of components and
d (\geq 1)
is
the dimension of the mixture approximation. Typically,
mit
is estimated by the function AdMit
. If the
mit = list()
, a Student-t distribution located
at rep(0,d)
with scale matrix diag(d)
and one
degree of freedom parameter is used.
Value
Vector (of length N
of density values, or matrix (of size
N
xd
) of random draws, where d (\geq 1)
is the
dimension of the mixture approximation.

Examples
## NB : Low number of draws for speedup. Consider using more draws!
## One dimensional two components mixture of Student-t distributions
mit <- list(p = c(0.5, 0.5),
mu = matrix(c(-2.0, 0.5), 2, 1, byrow = TRUE),
Sigma = matrix(0.1, 2),
df = 10)
## Generate draws from the mixture
hist(rMit(1e4, mit = mit), nclass = 100, freq = FALSE)
x <- seq(from = -5.0, to = 5.0, by = 0.01)
## Add the density to the histogram
lines(x, dMit(x, mit = mit, log = FALSE), col = "red", lwd = 2)
## Two dimensional (one component mixture) Student-t distribution
mit <- list(p = 1,
mu = matrix(0.0, 1.0, 2.0),
Sigma = matrix(c(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), 1, 4),
df = 10)
## Function used to plot the mixture in two dimensions
dMitPlot <- function(x1, x2, mit = mit)
{
dMit(cbind(x1, x2), mit = mit, log = FALSE)
}
x1 <- x2 <- seq(from = -10.0, to = 10.0, by = 0.1)
thexlim <- theylim <- range(x1)
z <- outer(x1, x2, FUN = dMitPlot, mit = mit)
## Contour plot of the mixture
contour(x1, x2, z, nlevel = 20, las = 1,
col = rainbow(20),
xlim = thexlim, ylim = theylim)
par(new = TRUE)
## Generate draws from the mixture
plot(rMit(1e4, mit = mit), pch = 20, cex = 0.3,
xlim = thexlim, ylim = theylim, col = "red", las = 1)
