The goal of sanba
is to estimate Bayesian nested mixture
models via MCMC and VI methods. Specifically, the package implements the
common atoms model (Denti et al., 2023) and hybrid finite-infinite
models (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 sanba
from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
::install_github("Fradenti/sanba") devtools

lines(density(y[g==2]), col = 2)
