NPflow
Overview
NPflow
is a package for performing Bayesian estimation of Dirichlet
process mixtures of multivariate skew $t$-distributions. It is
especially oriented towards flow-cytometry data preprocessing
applications, but can be useful for numerous other applications.
The main function of the package is DPMpost()
.
The method implemented in this package is detailed in the following article:
