Gaussian Mixture Modelling for Model-Based Clustering, Classification, and Density Estimation

Description

Gaussian finite mixture models estimated via EM algorithm for model-based clustering, classification, and density estimation, including Bayesian regularization and dimension reduction.

Details

For a quick introduction to mclust see the vignette A quick tour of mclust.

# Clustering
mod1 <- Mclust(iris[,1:4])
summary(mod1)
plot(mod1,  what = c("BIC", "classification"))

# Classification
data(banknote)
mod2 <- MclustDA(banknote[,2:7], banknote$Status)
summary(mod2)
plot(mod2)

# Density estimation
mod3 <- densityMclust(faithful$waiting)
summary(mod3)
