Public Member Functions

 merger (const Array< mpdf * > &S)
 Default constructor.
void set_parameters (double beta0, int Ns0, int Nc0)
 Set internal parameters used in approximation.
void init ()
 Initialize the proposal density. This function must be called before merge()!
void merge (const epdf *g0)
 Create a mixture density using known proposal.
void merge ()
 Create a mixture density, make sure to call init() before the first call.
vec lognorm_merge (mat &lW)
 Merge log-likelihood values.
vec sample () const
double evalpdflog (const vec &dt) const
 Compute log-probability of argument val.
vec mean () const
 return expected value
virtual ~merger ()
 for future use
RV getrv (bool checkoverlap=false)
 find common rv, flag
void setrvc (const RV &rv, RV &rvc)

void setrvcinrv (const RV &rvc, Array< ivec > &rvcind)
 Function fills Array by indeces of mpdfs inside given rv.
virtual mat sampleN (int N) const
 Returns N samples from density $epdf(rv)$.
virtual double eval (const vec &val) const
 Compute probability of argument val.
virtual vec evalpdflog_m (const mat &Val) const
 Compute log-probability of multiple values argument val.

Detailed Description

Function for general combination of pdfs.

Mixtures of Gaussian densities are used internally. Switching to other densities should be trivial.
