| Title: | 'Rcpp' Implementation of Dirichlet Process Regression | 
| Version: | 0.1.10 | 
| Description: | 'Rcpp' reimplementation of the the Bayesian non-parametric Dirichlet Process Regression model for penalized regression first published in Zeng and Zhou (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00470-2>. A full Bayesian version is implemented with Gibbs sampling, as well as a faster but less accurate variational Bayes approximation. |

Fit Dirichlet Process Regression model
Description
Fit a Dirichlet Process Regression model using a specified fitting method. Outcome (y) should be Gaussian and scaled and centered; predictors (x) and covariates (w) should also be scaled and centered but may be of any distribution
Usage
fit_model(
  y,
  w,
  x,
  rotate_variables = FALSE,
  covariance_matrix = NULL,
  fitting_method = "VB",
  ...
)
Arguments
y | 
 Numeric vector of outcome  | 
w | 
 Numeric matrix of covariates (default = rep(1, length(y)))  | 
x | 
 Numeric matrix of predictors  | 
rotate_variables | 
 Logical value indicating whether to rotate y, w and x using covariance_matrix (default = FALSE)  | 
covariance_matrix | 
 Numeric sample covariance matrix used for rotation of y, w and x - if NULL and rotate_variables is TRUE then the sample covariance matrix is computed from x  | 
fitting_method | 
 Character string indicating the method used for fitting the data - possible values are: 
  | 
... | 
 arguments to pass through to internal methods.  | 
Details
fit_model() can pass a number of additional parameters to the different fitting methods. These parameters are used for all modes:
n_k: number of mixture components in scale mixture of normals prior (default = 4)
l_min: minimum value of log-likelihood for initial parameter search (default = 1e-7, only modify if you know what you are doing)
l_max: maximum value of log-likelihood for initial parameter search (default = 1e5, only modify if you know what you are doing)
n_regions: number of regions over which to search for maximum log-likelihood (default = 10, only modify if you know what you are doing)
These parameters are only used for the Gibbs and Adaptive Gibbs modes:
w_step: number of burn-in steps for Gibbs sampler (default = 1000)
s_step: number of inference steps for Gibbs sampler (default = 1000)
m_n_k: maximum number of mixture components in scale mixture of normals prior (default = 6, Adaptive Gibbs only)
Value
returns an object of class 'DPR_Model'
Examples
file_path_x <- system.file("extdata", "data/in/x.rds", package = "RcppDPR")
file_path_y <- system.file("extdata", "data/in/y.rds", package = "RcppDPR")
file_path_w <- system.file("extdata", "data/in/w.rds", package = "RcppDPR")
x = readRDS(file_path_x)
y = readRDS(file_path_y)
w = readRDS(file_path_w)
dpr_model <- fit_model(y, w, x, fitting_method = "VB")
