Authors: Geoff McLachlan and David Peel

This book gives an up-to-date, comprehensive account of the major issues
in modeling via finite mixture distributions.

Links statistical literature with the machine learning and pattern
recognition literature in the related areas.

Considers how the EM algorithm can be scaled to handle the fitting of
mixture models to very large databases, as in data mining applications.

Provides more than 800 references -- 40% published since 1995.
