Keywords: Clustering - Biostatistics - Bioinformatics

Functional Description: Given the hypothesis of a bimodal distribution of cells for each marker, the algorithm constructs a binary tree, the nodes of which are subpopulations of cells. At each node, observed cells and markers are modeled by both a family of normal distributions and a family of bimodal normal mixture distributions. Splitting is done according to a normalized difference of AIC between the two families.
