CRAN release: 2014-10-15

  • Version associated with JSS paper submission.

  • Specifically included in the hc() function call the argument name data = ... so that works with both mclust version 4.4 and upper.
  • Other bug fixes and improvements.

clustvarsel 2.0 (2013-10)

CRAN release: 2013-10-25

  • Partial rewriting of the package.
  • “greedy” search has option for forward and backward direction.
  • “headlong” search has option only for forward direction in this release.
  • In clustvarsel() argument G is not the maximum number of clusters but it must be a vector of number of cluster to look for.
  • No separate code for sampling and no-sampling version of each search algorithm.
  • Inclusion of argument hcModel to control the initial hierarchical clustering.
  • Include subset selection in the regression of proposed variable on the variables already included.
  • “greedy” search algorithms can be executed either sequentially or using the parallel computing facilities available in R.
  • This version of the package requires R (>= 3.0.0) and mclust (>= 4.0).
