  <dc:title>Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Models with Covariates and a
Noise Component</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package MoEClust version 1.6.0</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Cluster (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Cluster)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Clustering via parsimonious Gaussian Mixtures of Experts using the MoEClust models introduced by Murphy and Murphy (2020) &lt;doi:10.1007/s11634-019-00373-8&gt;. This package fits finite Gaussian mixture models with a formula interface for supplying gating and/or expert network covariates using a range of parsimonious covariance parameterisations from the GPCM family via the EM/CEM algorithm. Visualisation of the results of such models using generalised pairs plots and the inclusion of an additional noise component is also facilitated. A greedy forward stepwise search algorithm is provided for identifying the optimal model in terms of the number of components, the GPCM covariance parameterisation, and the subsets of gating/expert network covariates.</dc:description>
