Rmixmod: the R package of the model-based unsupervised,supervised,and semi-supervised classification mixmod library

Mixmod is a well-established software package for fitting mixture models of multivariate gaussian or multinomial probability distribution functions to a given dataset with either a clustering,a density estimation or a discriminant analysis purpose. the rmixmod s4 package provides an interface from the r statistical computing environment to the c++ core library of mixmod (mixmodlib). in this article,we give an overview of the model-based clustering and classification methods implemented,and we show how the r package rmixmod can be used for clustering and discriminant analysis. © 2015,american statistical association. all rights reserved.
