MixCluster package for correlated mixed variables

Participants : Christophe Biernacki, Matthieu Marbac-Lourdelle, Vincent Vandewalle.

MixCluster is an R package for model-based clustering of mixed data (continuous, binary, integer). In this package, the model, submitted for publication in 2014 [48] , takes into account the main conditional dependencies between variables through Gaussian copula. Mixcluster performs the model selection and provides the best model according to Bayesian approaches. It is available online on Rforge (https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1939 ).
