initialization {TargetScore}R Documentation

Initialization of latent variable assignments (responsibility) of the VB-GMM (Internal function)

Description

Initialize latent varaibles based on the number of components. The function is run before the VB-EM iteration in vbgmm.

Usage

initialization(X, init)

Arguments

X

D x N numeric vector or matrix of observations

init

Based on the dimension, init is expected to be one of the followings: scalar: number of components; vector: intial class labels; matrix: initialize with a D x K matrix for D variables and K components.

Details

The function is expected to be used by vbgmm to initialize assignments of latent varaibles before VM-EM iterations.

Value

R

N by K matrix for N observations and K latent components (defined by init)
