Density of a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions: Density of a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions

Description

Density of a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions.

Usage

dmixvmf(y, probs, mu, k, logden = FALSE)

Value

A vector with the (log) density values of y.

Arguments

y

A matrix with unit vectors.

probs

This is avector with the mixing probability of each group.

mu

A matrix with the mean direction of each group.

k

A vector with the concentration parameter of each group.

logden

If you the logarithm of the density values set this to TRUE.
