title: 'VICatMix: Variational Mixture Models for Clustering Categorical Data'
version: '1.0'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.VICatMix
abstract: 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)
