Simulation of random values from a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions: Simulation of random values from a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions

Description

The function simulates random values simulation from a given mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions.

Usage

rmixvmf(n, probs, mu, k)

Value

A list including:

id

An indicator of the group of each simulated vector.

x

A matrix with the simulated data.

Arguments

n

The sample size.

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.
