Description: A variational Bayesian finite mixture model for the
        clustering of categorical data, and can implement variable
        selection and semi-supervised outcome guiding if desired.
        Incorporates an option to perform model averaging over multiple
        initialisations to reduce the effects of local optima and
        improve the automatic estimation of the true number of
        clusters. For further details, see the paper by Rao and Kirk
        (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.16227>.
