MCLUST is a software package for cluster and discriminant analysis written in Fortran and interfaced to the S-PLUS commercial software package1 and the freely available R language 2 which has a similar look and feel. It implements parameterized Gaussian hierarchical clustering algorithms [16, 1, 7] and the EM algorithm for parameterized Gaussian mixture models [5, 13, 3, 14] with the possible addition of a Poisson noise term. MCLUST also includes functions that combine hierarchical clustering, EM and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) in a comprehensive clustering strategy [4, 8]. Methods of this type have shown promise in a number of practical applications, including character recognition [16], tissue segmentation [1], minefield and seismic fault detection [4], identification of textile flaws from images [2], and classification of astronomical data [3, 15].
