predict.MclustDA: Classify multivariate observations by Gaussian finite mixture modeling

Description

Classify multivariate observations based on Gaussian finite mixture models estimated by MclustDA.

Usage

# S3 method for MclustDA
predict(object, newdata, prior, …)

Arguments

object

an object of class 'MclustDA' resulting from a call to MclustDA.

newdata

a data frame or matrix giving the data. If missing the train data obtained from the call to MclustDA are classified.

prior

the prior probabilities of the classes; by default, this is set at the proportions in the training data.

…

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

Returns a list of with the following components:

classification

a factor of predicted class labels for newdata.

z

a matrix whose [i,k]th entry is the probability that observation i in newdata belongs to the kth class.
