The book describes the development of the most important concepts through comprehensive analyses of real and practical examples taken from real-life research problems in medical and health sciences. This approach represents balance between theory and practice, stimulating readers and enhancing their capacity to apply mixture models in data analysis. Full of reproducible examples using software code and publicly-available data, the book is suitable for graduate-level students, researchers, and practitioners who have a basic grounding in statistics and would like to explore the use of mixture models to analyse their experiments and research data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn in-depth account of the most up-to-date mixture modelling techniques from auser perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...The examples are rich in diagrams and tables, with explanatory text. The coding parts are less extensive. In any case, such a homogenic structure of the book definitely contributes to increased readability and understandability of quite complex topics. This is especially true in the later chapters, where more advanced methods are discussed...To conclude, this book is a definite asset for those interested in sample clustering and more specifically mixture modelling.\"\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eGia Jgarkava\u003c\/strong\u003e, ISCB News, July 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"...(This book) by Shu Kay Ng, Liming Xiang and Kelvin Kai Wing Yau connects theoretical modelling to many real-world problems.
