Variable Selection for Clustering and Classification

Performs variable selection/feature reduction under a clustering or classification framework. In particular, it can be used in an automated fashion using mixture model-based methods ('teigen' and 'mclust' are currently supported). Can account for mixtures of non-Gaussian distributions via Manly transform (via 'ManlyMix'). See Andrews and McNicholas (2014) and Neal and McNicholas (2023) .
