 Title: VAriabLe SElection with mixture of models
 Date: 2016-12-01
 Version: 0.1-0
-Description: TODO
+Description: Two methods are implemented to cluster data with finite mixture regression models.
+              Those procedures deal with high-dimensional covariates and responses through a variable selection
+              procedure based on the Lasso estimator. A low-rank constraint could be added, computed for the Lasso-Rank procedure.
+              A collection of models is constructed, varying the level of sparsity and the number of clusters, and a model is selected
+              using a model selection criterion (slope heuristic, BIC or AIC).
+              Details of the procedure are provided in 'Model-based clustering for high-dimensional data. Application to functional data'
