Description: Various methods for clustering and cluster validation.
        Fixed point clustering. Linear regression clustering.
        Clustering by merging Gaussian mixture components. Symmetric
        and asymmetric discriminant projections for visualisation of
        the separation of groupings. Cluster validation statistics for
        distance based clustering including corrected Rand index.
        Standardisation of cluster validation statistics by random
        clusterings and comparison between many clustering methods and
        numbers of clusters based on this. Cluster-wise cluster
        stability assessment. Methods for estimation of the number of
        clusters: Calinski-Harabasz, Tibshirani and Walther's
        prediction strength, Fang and Wang's bootstrap stability.
        Gaussian/multinomial mixture fitting for mixed
        continuous/categorical variables. Variable-wise statistics for
        cluster interpretation. DBSCAN clustering. Interface functions
        for many clustering methods implemented in R, including
        estimating the number of clusters with kmeans, pam and clara.
        Modality diagnosis for Gaussian mixtures. For an overview see
        package?fpc.
