Description A function which implements variable selection methodology for model-based cluster-ing which allows to find the (locally) optimal subset of vari-ables in a dataset that have group/cluster information. A greedy or head-long search can be used, either in a forward-backward or backward-forward direc-tion, with or without sub-sampling at the hierarchical clustering stage for starting Mclust mod-els. By default the algorithm uses a sequential search, but parallelization is also available
