Sampler/bimh #52

Closed bdeonovic closed 9 years ago

brian-j-smith commented 9 years ago

A Model-based example is needed for testing of the binary Sampler constructors. Preferably one for which the model parameter values are known or can be checked against published results. A good starting point would be to create a new PR with an example for the BMMG sampler already in the release-0.6 branch. I could then extend such an example to this binary sampler as well as the one in #53 . Once I have an example, I'll start merging the new ones in.

Thanks Brian. I have an example I am working on. It should be ready by Wednesday. it is the Reaction times and Schizophrenia example from Gelman's Bayesian Data Analysis (Chapter 22, Finite mixture models). In the book they use EM algorithm along with Gibbs sampling. Hopefully we will get similar results if we use our binary sampler.
