Description
Algorithms of distance-based k-medoids clustering: simple and fast
k-medoids, ranked k-medoids, and increasing number of clusters in k-medoids.
Calculate distances for mixed variable data such as Gower, Podani, Wishart,
Huang, Harikumar-PV, and Ahmad-Dey. Cluster validation applies internal and
relative criteria. The internal criteria includes silhouette index and shadow
values. The relative criterium applies bootstrap procedure producing a heatmap
with a flexible reordering matrix algorithm such as complete, ward, or average
linkages. The cluster result can be plotted in a marked barplot or pca biplot.
