ppgmmga-packageR Documentation

Projection pursuit based on Gaussian mixtures and evolutionary algorithms for data visualisation

Description

An R package implementing a Projection Pursuit (PP) algorithm based on finite Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) for density estimation using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to maximise an approximated negentropy index. The ppgmmga algorithm provides a method to visualise high-dimensional data in a lower-dimensional space.

Details

An introduction to ppgmmga package is provided in the accompaying vignette A quick tour of ppgmmga.
