How To Install r-cran-mclust on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-mclust on Kali Linux. r-cran-mclust is Gaussian Mixture Modelling for Model-Based Clustering

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-mclust on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-mclust

r-cran-mclust is:

This GNU R package supports Gaussian Mixture Modelling for Model-Based Clustering, Classification, and Density Estimation.

Gaussian finite mixture models fitted via EM algorithm for model-based clustering, classification, and density estimation, including Bayesian regularization, dimension reduction for visualisation, and resampling-based inference.

There are three methods to install r-cran-mclust on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install r-cran-mclust Using apt-get
