Support for Beta Mixture Model #156

Open jdtuck opened 6 months ago

jdtuck commented 6 months ago

Can you add the support for the Beta Mixture Model. This is a particular useful in point process estimation and one of the nice features of the dirichletprocess R package. This would be helpful to have in this code for speed.

Thanks @jdtuck for opening this issue!

I had the code laying around and drafted a PR #157, is this what you had in mind?

Yes it is, made some comments on the PR
