R help - May 2009 - Package for Clustering - Query

Dear R users,

Is there any package for Latent Class Analysis (to be used in a clustering
application) which supports mixed indicator variables (categorical and
continuous)?

Alternatively, is there any other clustering algorithm available that
supports this type of data?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Lars.

hi Lars,
a number of packages do this: flexmix does latent class regression,
depmix does lca on mixed variables, depmixS4 does lca regression on
mixed variables.
