sphereclust: Model Based Clustering for Spherical Data Using Elliptically Symmetric Distributions

Model based clustering with spherical data using mixtures of elliptically symmetric distributions, namely mixtures of spherical elliptically symmetric projected Cauchy (SESPC) or mixtures of elliptically symmetric angular Gaussian (ESAG) distributions. The relevant paper is: Perdikis T., Alharbi N. and Tsagris M. (2026). <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.27496>.
