mclustAddons is a contributed R package that extends
the functionality available in the mclust package
(Scrucca et al. 2016, Scrucca et al. 2023).
In particular, the following methods are included:
density estimation for data with bounded support (Scrucca, 2019);
modal clustering using modal EM algorithm for Gaussian mixtures (Scrucca, 2021);
entropy estimation via Gaussian mixture modeling (Robin & Scrucca, 2023).
This document gives a quick tour of mclustAddons (version 0.9). It was written in R Markdown, using the knitr package for production.
References on the methodologies implemented are provided at the end of this document.
