Overview

About

Maintained by Luca ScruccaCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Extend the functionality of the 'mclust' package for Gaussian finite mixture modeling by including: density estimation for data with bounded support (Scrucca, 2019 doi:10.1002/bimj.201800174); modal clustering using MEM (Modal EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixtures (Scrucca, 2021 doi:10.1002/sam.11527); entropy estimation via Gaussian mixture modeling (Robin & Scrucca, 2023 doi:10.1016/j.csda.2022.107582); Gaussian mixtures modeling of financial log-returns (Scrucca, 2024 doi:10.3390/e26110907).

Changes in 0.10

Added function hypvolgmm() implementing estimation of hypervolume.
Allows to specify further arguments in GMMlogreturn() to be passed to densityMclust().

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("mclustAddons", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mclustaddons

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-mclustAddons

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-mclustAddons

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
