Version 1.0.0
Silverblaze offers a finite mixture model for Geographic Profiling. Through the package a user can
- infer source locations and dispersal patterns - common desirable parameters in geographic profiling
- make inferences via count, prevalence and point pattern data
- specify a spatial prior in source locations via shape files
Silverblaze is a toolbox for geographic profiling that utilises different MCMC algorithms (Metropolis-Hastings coupling and Gibbs sampling) to infer the above parameters. The package RgeoProfile uses a Dirichlet Process Mixture model (DPM) to solve the issue of multiple sources.
