Description

Description of model names used in the MCLUST package.

Usage

mclustModelNames(model)

Arguments

model

A string specifying the model.

Value

Returns a list with the following components:

model

a character string indicating the model (as in input).

type

"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
