Raftery and Co-Authors Publish New Book on Model-Based Clustering!
Posted: 5/8/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Adrian Raftery and co-authors have published their new book “Model-Based Clustering, Classification, and Density Estimation Using mclust in R” by Chapman & Hall. The book provides a systematic statistical approach to clustering, classification, and density estimation via mixture modeling. The model-based framework allows the problems of choosing or developing an appropriate clustering or classification method to be understood within the context of statistical modeling. The mclust package for the statistical environment R is a widely adopted platform implementing these model-based strategies. The package includes both summary and visual functionality, complementing procedures for estimating and choosing models.
