gaussFit incorrectly updates of distribution #59

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running gaussFit as a subroutine and using a prior (for me through 
hmmFitFullyObs).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The updating of the gaussian-InverseWishart distribution appears to be 
incorrect and yields a highly non PSD result.  

What version / revision of the product are you using? On what operating
system?
pmtk3 - Nov2012/Ubuntu

Please provide any additional information below.

Replaced line 37: SN = S0 + C + kappa0*m0*m0'-kappaN*muN*muN';

with

SN = S0 + C + kappa0/(kappa0+N)*(xbar-m0)*(xbar-m0)';

The problem appears to be fixed
