In BNPMIXcluster: Bayesian Nonparametric Model for Clustering with Mixed Scale Variables

Description

Poverty indicators observed in Mexico for 2014.

The original data is available in the file "R_2014.zip" from CONEVAL's website: http://www.coneval.org.mx/Medicion/MP/Paginas/Programas_BD_10_12_14.aspx
