Model-based clustering is popularly used in statistical literature, which often models the data with a Gaussian mixture model. As a consequence, it requires estimation of a large amount of parameters, especially when the data dimension is relatively large. In this paper, reduced-rank model and group-sparsity regularization are proposed to equip with the model-based clustering, which substantially reduce the number of parameters and thus facilitate the high-dimensional clustering and variable selection simultaneously. We propose an EM algorithm for this task, in which the M-step is solved using alternating minimization. One of the alternating steps involves both nonsmooth function and nonconvex constraint, and thus we propose a linearized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving it. This leads to an efficient algorithm whose subproblems are all easy to solve. In addition, a model selection criterion based on the concept of clustering stability is developed for tuning the clustering model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is supported in a variety of simulated and real examples, as well as its asymptotic estimation and selection consistencies.
