BoltzMM: A package for probability computation, data generation, and model estimation of fully-visible Boltzmann machines.
Description
The BoltzMM package allows for computation of probability mass functions of fully-visible Boltzmann machines via pfvbm and allpfvbm.
Random data can be generated using rfvbm. Maximum pseudolikelihood estimation of parameters via the MM algorithm can be conducted using fitfvbm.
Computation of partial derivatives and Hessians can be performed via fvbmpartiald and fvbmHessian.
Covariance estimation and normal standard errors can be computed using fvbmcov and fvbmstderr.
