predict.MclustDR: Classify multivariate observations on a dimension reduced subspace by Gaussian finite mixture modeling

Description

Classify multivariate observations on a dimension reduced subspace estimated from a Gaussian finite mixture model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'MclustDR':
predict(object, dim = 1:object$numdir, newdata, eval.points, \dots)

Arguments

object

an object of class "MclustDR" resulting from a call to MclustDR.

dim

the dimensions of the reduced subspace used for prediction.

newdata

a data frame or matrix giving the data. If missing the data obtained from the call to MclustDR are used.

eval.points

a data frame or matrix giving the data projected on the reduced subspace. If provided newdata is not used.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

• Returns a list of with the following components:
• dir
  a matrix containing the data projected onto the dim dimensions of the reduced subspace.
• density
  densities from mixture model for each data point.
• z
  a matrix whose [i,k]th entry is the probability that observation i in newdata belongs to the kth class.
• uncertainty
  The uncertainty associated with the classification.
• classification
  A vector of values giving the MAP classification.
