Clustericat package for correlated categorical variable

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

Clustericat is a R package for model-based clustering of categorical data. In this package, the model ccm [41] where the main conditional dependencies between variables are taken into account is implemented. Clustericat performs the model selection and provides the best model according to the BIC criterion and the maximum likelihood estimates. It is available online on Rforge (https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1803 ).
