@EmmaPrevot7 @pagani_filippo @rory_toogood The majority of the work was completed as part of Emma's project for the MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence, undertaken at @mrc_bsu.

New preprint and Python software from @EmmaPrevot7 implementing an annealed variational Bayes algorithm for fitting high-dimensional mixture models while performing variable selection, with contributions from @pagani_filippo and @rory_toogood

For further details, see the preprint from Rao and Kirk (2024) [updated version coming soon!]

New R package from @jackierao_ @MRC_BSU implementing variational Bayesian finite mixture models to cluster categorical data, with variable selection and semi-supervised outcome guiding if desired.
