abstract = {The mixture of factor analyzers model is extended to
variance-gamma mixtures to facilitate flexible clustering of
high-dimensional data. The formation of the variance-gamma
distribution utilized is a special and limiting case of the
generalized hyperbolic distribution. Parameter estimation for
these mixtures is carried out via an alternating
expectation-conditional maximization algorithm, and relies on
convenient expressions for expected values for the generalized
inverse Gaussian distribution. The Bayesian information criterion
is used to select the number of latent factors. The mixture of
variance-gamma factor analyzers model is illustrated on a
well-known breast cancer data set. Finally, the place of
variance-gamma mixtures within the growing body of literature on
non-Gaussian mixtures is considered.},
