dealWithLabelSwitching {fabMix}

Apply label switching algorithms

Description

This functions is a wrapper for the label.switching package and applies the ECR and ECR.ITERATIVE.1 algorithms. The model may have the same variance of error terms per cluster or not.

Usage

dealWithLabelSwitching(sameSigma, x_data, outputFolder, q, burn, 
		z.true, compute_regularized_expression, Km)

Arguments

sameSigma

Logical value indicating whether the parameterization with the same error variance per cluster is used.

x_data

Data

outputFolder

Name of the folder where the fabMix function has saved its output

q

Number of factors

burn

Discard observations as burn-in period (optional).

z.true

An (optional) vector of cluster assignments which is considered as the groun-truth clustering of the data. Useful for direct comparisons against the real parameter values in simulated data.

compute_regularized_expression

Logical. Should regularized expression be computed?

Km

Number of components in the overfitted mixture model.

Value

The following files are produced in the output folder:
