The goal of SANple is to estimate Bayesian nested mixture models via MCMC 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 SANple from GitHub with:
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
## basic example code
set.seed(123)
y <- c(rnorm(50,-5,1), rnorm(170,0,1),rnorm(70,5,1))
g <- c(rep(1,150), rep(2, 140))
plot(density(y[g==1]), xlim = c(-10,10), main = "", xlab = "")
lines(density(y[g==2]), col = "cyan4")
out <- sample_fiSAN(nrep = 3000, burn = 1000, y = y, group = g, beta = 1)
