abstract: Performs variable selection/feature reduction under a clustering or classification
  framework. In particular, it can be used in an automated fashion using mixture model-based
  methods ('teigen' and 'mclust' are currently supported). Can account for mixtures
  of non-Gaussian distributions via Manly transform (via 'ManlyMix'). See Andrews
  and McNicholas (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s00357-013-9139-2> and Neal and McNicholas
  (2023) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2305.16464>.
