FVDDPpkg - Implement Fleming-Viot-Dependent Dirichlet Processes
A Bayesian Nonparametric model for the study of
time-evolving frequencies, which has become renowned in the
study of population genetics. The model consists of a Hidden
Markov Model (HMM) in which the latent signal is a
distribution-valued stochastic process that takes the form of a
finite mixture of Dirichlet Processes, indexed by vectors that
count how many times each value is observed in the population.
The package implements methodologies presented in Ascolani,
Lijoi and Ruggiero (2021) <doi:10.1214/20-BA1206> and Ascolani,
Lijoi and Ruggiero (2023) <doi:10.3150/22-BEJ1504> that make it
possible to study the process at the time of data collection or
to predict its evolution in future or in the past.
