This is the website accompanying the book Model-Based Clustering, Classification and Density Estimation Using mclust in R by Luca Scrucca, Chris Fraley, T. Brendan Murphy, and Adrian E. Raftery, published by Chapman & Hall/CRC Press on 2023.

Model-based clustering and classification methods provide a systematic statistical approach to clustering, classification, and density estimation via mixture modeling. This model-based framework allows the problems of choosing or developing an appropriate clustering or classification method to be understood within the context of statistical modeling. The mclust package for the statistical environment R is a widely adopted platform implementing these model-based strategies. The package includes both summary and visual functionality, complementing procedures for estimating and choosing models.
