Variable Selection for Clustering and Classification

v0.8 · Oct 10, 2025 · GPL (>= 2)

Description

Performs variable selection/feature reduction under a clustering or classification framework. In particular, it can be used in an automated fashion using mixture model-based methods ('teigen' and 'mclust' are currently supported). Can account for mixtures of non-Gaussian distributions via Manly transform (via 'ManlyMix'). See Andrews and McNicholas (2014) <doi:10.1007/s00357-013-9139-2> and Neal and McNicholas (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.16464>.
