Create a Dirichlet Process object

Source: R/dirichlet_process_create.R

Using a previously created Mixing Distribution Object (mdObject) create a Dirichlet process object. `alphaPriorParameters sets the parameters for alpha using the shape-rate specification of the gamma distribution.

DirichletProcessCreate(x, mdObject, alphaPriorParameters = c(1, 1),
  mhDraws = 250)

Arguments

x

Data
mdObject

Mixing Distribution Object
alphaPriorParameters

Prior parameters for the concentration parameter of the Dirichlet Process
mhDraws

Number of posterior samples to take in the nonconjugate case
