Note that in the summary function call we also provided the features and the known classes for the test set, so both the training error and the test error are reported.
EDDA imposes a single mixture component for each group. However, in certain circumstances more complexity may improve performance.
A more general approach, called MclustDA , has been proposed by Fraley and Raftery , where a finite mixture of Gaussian distributions is used within each class, with number of components and covariance matrix expressed following the usual decomposition which may be different within any class.
This is the default model fitted by MclustDA:. A two-component mixture distribution is fitted to both the benign and malignant observations, but with different covariance structures within each class. Both the training error and the test error are slightly smaller than for EDDA, a fact also confirmed by the fold cross-validation procedure:. A plot method which produces a variety of graph is associated with objects returned by MclustDA. For instance, pairwise scatterplots between the features, showing both the known classes and the estimated mixture components, are drawn as follows see Figure 15a—c :.

Another interesting graph can be obtained by projecting the data on a dimension reduced subspace Scrucca, with the commands:. The graph produced by the last command is shown in Figure 15d.
The two groups are largely separated along the first direction, with the group of malignant cases showing a higher variability. For instance, a MDA with two mixture components for each class can be fitted as:. Since its early developments Banfield and Raftery, ; Fraley and Raftery, , , mclust has seen major updates through the years, which expanded its capabilities and features, increasing its popularity and widening its area of utilisation. We showed their application on a collection of different datasets, pointing out their utility in different contexts.

Abstract Finite mixture models are being used increasingly to model a wide variety of random phenomena for clustering, classification and density estimation.
Introduction mclust is a popular R package for model-based clustering, classification, and density estimation based on finite Gaussian mixture modelling. Table 1 Capabilities of the selected packages dealing with finite mixture models. Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Table 2 Ranking obtained with the PageRank algorithm for some R packages dealing with Gaussian finite mixture modelling.
Figure 2. Model-based clustering To illustrate the new modelling capabilities of mclust for model-based clustering consider the wine dataset contained in the gclus R package. Figure 3. Figure 4. Model selection A central question in finite mixture modelling is how many components should be included in the mixture.
Figure 5. Figure 6. Figure 7. Bootstrap inference There are two main approaches to likelihood-based inference in mixture models, namely information-based and resampling methods McLachlan and Peel, Figure 8.
Figure 9. Figure Initialisation of the EM algorithm The EM algorithm is an easy to implement and numerically stable algorithm which has reliable global convergence under fairly general conditions. Density estimation Density estimation plays an important role in applied statistical data analysis and theoretical research. Supervised classification In supervised classification or discriminant analysis the aim is to build a classifier or a decision rule which is able to assign an observation with an unknown class membership to one of K known classes.
