different BIC with same parameters #39

Closed elmiraberjisian closed 6 years ago

elmiraberjisian commented 6 years ago

I run example with same parameters 3 times and I am getting different BICs. Initially, I wanted to try different number of clusters and based on minimum BIC, identify number of clusters and that was when I found out that every run with same parameters and dataset yielded different BICs. Could you please explain why BIC vary while parameters and data are the same.

Hmm, that definitely shouldn’t be happening. Are you sure you’ve pulled the newest version of the code? This might have to do with issue #30 , where we used a different random seed every time we ran TICC. Can you try re-pulling and running again? Thanks!

I used the new version and it is resolved. Thanks!
