The goal of SANvi is to estimate Bayesian nested mixture models via variational Bayes methods. Specifically, the package implements the common atoms model (Denti et al., 2023), its finite version (D’Angelo et al., 2023), and a hybrid finite-infinite model (D’Angelo and Denti, 2024+). All models use Gaussian mixtures with a normal-inverse-gamma prior distribution on the parameters. Additional functions are provided to help analyzing the results of the fitting procedure.
You can install the development version of SANvi from GitHub with:
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(SANvi)
#> Loading required package: scales
#> Loading required package: RColorBrewer
# Generate example data
set.seed(1232)
y <- c(rnorm(100),rnorm(100,5))
g <- rep(1:2,rep(100,2))
# Fitting fiSAN via variational inference
est <- SANvi:::variational_fiSAN(y,g,verbose = FALSE)
plot(est)
# Estimate clustering
cl <- estimate_clustering_vi(est)
cl
#> Number of estimated OCs: 2
#> Number of estimated DCs: 2
plot(cl,palette_brewed = T)
# Estimate posterior atoms and weights
aw <- estimate_atoms_weights_vi(est)
aw
#> Atoms with posterior weight > 0.01
#> ----------------------------------
#> Number of detected DCs: 2
#> ----------------------------------

#> Distributional cluster # 1
