EM algorithm for multivariate skew normal distribution.

Description

EM algorithm in closed form.

Usage

snem(
  x,
  eps = 0.9,
  iter.eps = 10^-6,
  stop.rule = c("parameter", "log-likelihood")
)

Arguments

x

A data matrix. Each row is an observation vector.

eps

Weight parameter with 0 \le eps < 1. Default is 0.9.

iter.eps

Convergence threshold. Default is 10^-6.

stop.rule

"parameter": The difference of the parameter is used as a stopping rule. "log-likelihood" The difference of the log-likelihood is used as a stopping rule.

Details

The parameter eps is a tuning parameter which ensures that an initial covariance matrix is positive semi-definite.

Value

Location parameter (mu), covariance matrix (omega), skewness parameter (delta), and another expression of skewness parameter (lambda).
