profdpm: An R Package for MAP Estimation in a Class of Conjugate Product Partition Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The profdpm package facilitates inference at the posterior mode for a class of product partition models. Dirichlet process mixtures are currently the only available class members. Several methods are implemented to search for the maximum posterior estimate of the data partition. This article discusses the relevant theory, the R and underlying C implementation, and examples of high level functionality.

Modal Clustering in a Univariate Class of Product Partition Models
This paper presents an algorithm for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) clustering in a class of univariate product partition models. While the number of possible clusterings of n observations grows according to the Bell exponential number, the dynamic programming algorithm presented here exploits properties of the model to provide an O(n2) search. Hence, the algorithm can be used to find t...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...
متن کاملPredictive Risk Mapping of Leptospirosis for North of Iran Using Pseudo-absences Data
Leptospirosis is a common zoonosis disease with a high prevalence in the world and is recognized as an important public health drawback in both developing and developed countries owing to epidemics and increasing prevalence. Because of the high diversity of hosts that are capable of carrying the causative agent, this disease has an expansive geographical reach. Various environmental and social ...
متن کاملSupplementary Materials for “A statistical approach for identifying differential distributions in single-cell RNA-seq experiments”
Here we present a sensitivity analysis to evaluate several computational approaches to obtain an estimate of the maximum a priori (MAP) partition in the Dirichlet process mixture model framework. Specifically, we use simulated data from mixtures of normals to compare an agglomerative greedy search algorithm [Ward Jr, 1963, Wang and Dunson, 2011], a Polya urn Gibbs sampling scheme [MacEachern, 1...
متن کاملارزیابی برآورد رسوب حوضه آبریز شهرچای میانه با استفاده از مدل های EPM و Fournier در محیط GIS
Introduction Erosion, especially soil erosion is a serious threat to soil and water resources, because the soil consists of a combination of small-scale materials, non-organic and organic materials, also is a natural, dynamic environment that the growth of plants depends on it. Nowadays, soil erosion is one of the issues and problems that causes serious damages in Iran. Every year, nearly 75...
