condmixt.fwd {condmixt} R Documentation

## Forward pass in neural network conditional mixtures

### Description

A forward pass means that given explanatory variables x, the neural network computes the corresponding values of the mixture parameters.

### Usage

condhparetomixt.fwd(theta, h, m, x)
condhparetomixt.dirac.fwd(theta, h, m, x)
condgaussmixt.fwd(theta, h, m, x)
condgaussmixt.dirac.fwd(theta, h, m, x)
condbergamixt.fwd(theta,h,x)


### Arguments

 theta Vector of neural network parameters h Number of hidden units m Number of components x Matrix of explanatory (independent) variables of dimension d x n, d is the number of variables and n is the number of examples (patterns)

### Details

condhparetomixt indicates a mixture with hybrid Pareto components, condgaussmixt for Gaussian components, condbergam for a Bernoulli-Gamma two component mixture, dirac indicates that a discrete dirac component is included in the mixture The forward pass for Log-Normal conditional mixture is the same one as for Gaussian conditional mixture. Therefore, condgaussmixt.fwd can be used for the forward pass of a conditional mixture with Log-Normal components.

### Value

A matrix of mixture parameters corresponding to the values in x : - for condhparetomixt.fwd, each component requires four parameters (pi, xi, mu, sigma) and the parameter matrix has dimensions m x 4 x n - for condhparetomixt.dirac.fwd, there is an additional parameter for the probability of the dirac at zero so that the mixture parameters are stored in a (4m+1) x n matrix - for condgaussmixt.fwd, each component requires three parameters (pi, mu, sigma) and the parameter matrix has dimensions m x 3 x n - for condgaussmixt.dirac.fwd, there is an additional parameter for the probability of the dirac at zero so that the mixture parameters are stored in a (3m+1) x n matrix - for condbergamixt.fwd, there are three parameters, the probability of the dirac at zero and two parameters for the Gamma distribution

### Examples

n <- 200
x <- runif(n) # x is a random uniform variate
# y depends on x through the parameters of the Frechet distribution
y <- rfrechet(n,loc = 3*x+1,scale = 0.5*x+0.001,shape=x+1)
plot(x,y,pch=22)
# 0.99 quantile of the generative distribution
qgen <- qfrechet(0.99,loc = 3*x+1,scale = 0.5*x+0.001,shape=x+1)
points(x,qgen,pch="*",col="orange")

h <- 2 # number of hidden units
m <- 4 # number of components

# initialize a conditional mixture with hybrid Pareto components
thetainit <- condhparetomixt.init(1,h,m,y)

params.mixt <- condhparetomixt.fwd(thetainit,h,m,t(x)) # compute mixture parameters
