Details

The following models are available in package mclust: lcl{ univariate mixture "E" = equal variance (one-dimensional) "V" = variable variance (one-dimensional) multivariate mixture "EII" = spherical, equal volume "VII" = spherical, unequal volume "EEI" = diagonal, equal volume and shape "VEI" = diagonal, varying volume, equal shape "EVI" = diagonal, equal volume, varying shape "VVI" = diagonal, varying volume and shape "EEE" = ellipsoidal, equal volume, shape, and orientation "EVE" = ellipsoidal, equal volume and orientation (*) "VEE" = ellipsoidal, equal shape and orientation (*) "VVE" = ellipsoidal, equal orientation (*) "EEV" = ellipsoidal, equal volume and equal shape "VEV" = ellipsoidal, equal shape "EVV" = ellipsoidal, equal volume (*) "VVV" = ellipsoidal, varying volume, shape, and orientation single component "X" = univariate normal "XII" = spherical multivariate normal "XXI" = diagonal multivariate normal "XXX" = ellipsoidal multivariate normal } (*) new models in mclust version >= 5.0.0.
