mixmodCompositeModel {Rmixmod}

Create an instance of the [CompositeModel] class

Description

Define a list of heterogeneous model to test in MIXMOD.

Usage

mixmodCompositeModel(
  listModels = NULL,
  free.proportions = TRUE,
  equal.proportions = TRUE,
  variable.independency = NULL,
  component.independency = NULL
)

Arguments

listModels

a list of characters containing a list of models. It is optional.

free.proportions

logical to include models with free proportions. Default is TRUE.

equal.proportions

logical to include models with equal proportions. Default is TRUE.

variable.independency

logical to include models where [\varepsilon_k^j] is independent of the variable j. Optional.

component.independency

logical to include models where [\varepsilon_k^j] is independent of the component k. Optional.

Details

In heterogeneous case, Gaussian model can only belong to the diagonal family. We assume that the variance matrices \Sigma_{k} are diagonal. In the parameterization, it means that the orientation matrices D_{k} are permutation matrices. We write \Sigma_{k}=\lambda_{k}B_{k} where B_{k} is a diagonal matrix with | B_{k}|=1. This particular parameterization gives rise to 4 models: [\lambda B], [\lambda_{k}B], [\lambda B_{k}] and [\lambda_{k}B_{k}]. The multinomial distribution is associated to the jth variable of the kth component is reparameterized by a center a_k^j and the dispersion \varepsilon_k^j around this center. Thus, it allows us to give an interpretation similar to the center and the variance matrix used for continuous data in the Gaussian mixture context. In the following, this model will be denoted by [\varepsilon_k^j]. In this context, three other models can be easily deduced. We note [\varepsilon_k] the model where \varepsilon_k^j is independent of the variable j, [\varepsilon^j] the model where \varepsilon_k^j is independent of the component k and, finally, [\varepsilon] the model where \varepsilon_k^j is independent of both the variable $j$ and the component k. In order to maintain some unity in the notation, we will denote also [\varepsilon_k^{jh}] the most general model introduced at the previous section.
