R: Compute the probability density function of the special definition of the Skew-T distribution

I am currently working with a mixture model package EMMIXskew

and I have set the layout to my data (some number vector). The package has some density function ddmst

, but I have not seen the probability density function in this package and I need a little!

What I thought I could do is

  • use some other packages that provide a pdf to unwind like package sn

    c pst

    , but the problem is that this distribution has a different definition of skew distribution, OR
  • I could use integrate

    in ddmst

    , but it doesn't work yet.

I have tried something like

library(EMMIXskew)

dat <- rdmst(n=1000,p=1,mean=0,cov=1,del=1)

mu=0.01
sigma=0.9
nu=1.1
del=3
pdmst <- function(x){     
  ddmst(x,n=length(dat),p=1,mean=mu,cov=sigma,nu=nu,del=del)
}

x=0.6

F_x <- integrate(pdmst,lower=-Inf,upper=x)

      

and also if I assume 3-modality of my data with parameters

mu=c(0.01,2,-0.4)
sigma=c(0.9,2,2.3)
nu=c(1.1,1,0.8)
del=c(3,2,1.2)
pdmst <- function(x){     
  ddmst(x,n=length(dat),p=1,mean=mu,cov=sigma,nu=nu,del=del)

      

I am getting this error

Error in ddmix(dat, n, p, 1, "mst", mean, cov, nu, del) : dat does not match n and p.

I really don't know what I did wrong!

Try the following:

pdmst <- function(x){    
  ddmst(x,n=length(x),p=1,mean=mu,cov=sigma,nu=nu,del=del)
}

      

n

should be length x

instead of dat

. Then pdmst(x)

should give you the density in x

.



For the three-way case, please refer to the documentation ddmix

on how to specify the arguments to this function. For your second example, it can be entered like this:

mu = cbind(0.01, 2, -0.4)
sigma = cbind(0.9,2,2.3)
del = cbind(3,2,1.2)
nu=c(1.1,1,0.8)
ddmix(x,1,1,3,"mst",mu, sigma, nu, del)

      

The last command should give you the log density in x

for each of the three components.
