Gaussian Infinite Mixture Models (GIMM)

 

This page provides references and software for the clustering method based on  Gaussian Infinite mixture models. The software consists of the R package gimmR and the self-standing software WinGimm. Linus and Windows versions of both gimmR and WinGimm are available as well as some basic documentations. You are free to use the code and software in any way you would like. However, if you do use and/or improve the code of the program, you have to make your code publicly available as specified in GNU General Public License. The model description of and performance comparisons can be found in following papers:
