McNicholas provides a resource that I am certain will be used by researchers in statistics and related disciplines for quite some time. The discussion of mixtures with heavy tails and asymmetric distributions will place this text as the authoritative, modern reference in the mixture modeling literature.\u003c\/em\u003e (Douglas Steinley, University of Missouri)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixture Model-Based Classification is the first monograph devoted to mixture model-based approaches to clustering and classification. This is both a book for established researchers and newcomers to the field. A history of mixture models as a tool for classification is provided and Gaussian mixtures are considered extensively, including mixtures of factor analyzers and other approaches for high-dimensional data. Non-Gaussian mixtures are considered, from mixtures with components that parameterize skewness and\/or\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This Monograph, “Mixture Model-Based Classification” is an excellent book, highly relevant to every statistician working with classification problems.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003e~International Society for Clinical Biostatistics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This monograph is an extensive introduction of mixture models with applications in classification and clustering. . .
