Dear Classification Researcher: As you are probably aware mixture model clustering approaches are being used more and more for classification. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in this year's Statistical Modeling Week workshops, which will be held in Boston during the week of October 21-25. Jeroen Vermunt and Jay Magidson will be presenting a workshop on Latent Class and Finite Mixture Models. The full schedule is as follows:
