This function constructs knockoffs of variables distributed as a hidden Markov model.

knockoffHMM(X, pInit, Q, pEmit, groups = NULL, seed = 123,
  cluster = NULL, display_progress = FALSE)

Arguments

X

an integer matrix of size n-by-p containing the original variables.

pInit

an array of length K, containing the marginal distribution of the states for the first variable.

Q

an array of size (p-1,K,K), containing a list of p-1 transition matrices between the K states of the Markov chain.

pEmit

an array of size (p,M,K), containing the emission probabilities for each of the M possible emission states, from each of the K hidden states and the p variables.

groups

an array of length p, describing the group membership of each variable (default: NULL).

seed

an integer random seed (default: 123).

cluster

a computing cluster object created by makeCluster (default: NULL).

display_progress

whether to show progress bar (default: FALSE).

Value

An integer matrix of size n-by-p containing the knockoff variables.

Details

Each element of the matrix X should be an integer value between 0 and M-1. The transition matrices contained in Q are defined with the same convention as in knockoffDMC. The emission propability matrices contained in pEmit are defined such that \(P[X_{j}=k|H_{j}=l]=\mathrm{pEmit}[j,k,l]\), where \(H_j\) is the latent variable associated to \(X_j\).
