+# MEteorit
+Mixtures-of-ExperTs modEling for cOmplex and non-noRmal dIsTributions
+
+MEteoritS is a toolbox containg several original and flexible mixtures-of-experts models to model, cluster and classify heteregenous data in many complex situations where the data are distributed according non-normal, possibly skewed distributions, and when they might be corrupted by atypical observations. The toolbox contains in particular sparse mixture-of-experts models for high-dimensional data. 
+
+
+Our (dis-)covered meteorites are for instance the following:
+
+NMoE
+
+NNMoE
+
+tMoE
+
+StMoE
+
+.
+
+.
+
+RMoE
+
+
+The models and algorithms are developped and written in Matlab by Faicel Chamroukhi, and translated and designed into R packages by Florian Lecocq, Marius Bartcus and Faicel Chamroukhi.
