combiPlot: Plot Classifications Corresponding to Successive Combined Solutions

Description

Plot classifications corresponding to successive combined solutions.

Usage

combiPlot(data, z, combiM, …)

Arguments

data

The data.

z

A matrix whose [i,k]th entry is the probability that observation i in the data belongs to the kth class, for the initial solution (ie before any combining). Typically, the one returned by Mclust/BIC.

combiM

A "combining matrix" (as provided by clustCombi), ie a matrix whose kth row contains only zeros, but in columns corresponding to the labels of the classes in the initial solution to be merged together to get the combined solution.

…

Other arguments to be passed to the Mclust plot functions.

Value

Plot the classifications obtained by MAP from the matrix t(combiM %*% t(z)), which is the matrix whose [i,k]th entry is the probability that observation i in the data belongs to the kth class, according to the combined solution obtained by merging (according to combiM) the initial solution described by z.
