getPosteriorParams {scDD} | R Documentation

## getPosteriorParams

### Description

Given the observations for a single gene and its clustering information, return the calculated posterior parameters

### Usage

    getPosteriorParams(y, mcobj, alpha, m0, s0, a0, b0)

### Arguments

`y` | Numeric data vector for one gene (log-transformed non-zeroes)
`mcobj` | Object returned by `mclustRestricted`
`alpha` | Value for the Dirichlet concentration parameter
`m0` | Prior mean value for generating distribution of cluster means
`s0` | Prior precision value for generating distribution of cluster means
`a0` | Prior shape parameter value for the generating distribution of cluster precision
`b0` | Prior scale parameter value for the generating distribution of cluster precision

### Value

A list of posterior parameter values under the DP mixture model framework, given the data and prior parameter values.
