Silhouette

Silhouette value for the i. variable given variable partition

internal

Directed Dependence Coefficient (didec) is a measure of functional dependence.
Multivariate Feature Ordering by Conditional Independence (MFOCI) is a variable selection
algorithm based on didec.
Hierarchical Variable Clustering (VarClustPartition) is a variable clustering method
based on didec.
