Implements the DEMP-K merging algorithm with single, Ward's, average, and complete linkages, the overlap map display for selecting the number of clusters, four K-means variants corresponding to Gaussian mixtures with spherical or elliptical, homoscedastic or heteroscedastic components, and a tool for selecting the number of K-means components. authors: - family-names: Dong given-names: Aqi email: donga2@erau.edu orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0004-1676-3528 - family-names: Melnykov given-names: Volodymyr - family-names: Liao given-names: Yang-Li email: yanglliao@fcu.edu.tw - family-names: Li given-names: Peng email: peng.li@erau.edu - family-names: Li given-names: Xuejian email: lix16@erau.edu repository: https://cran.r-universe.dev commit: 6b68405dde09dc6d8dac6bf115111f13ff4d4dba date-released: '2026-07-19' contact: - family-names: Dong given-names: Aqi email: donga2@erau.edu orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0004-1676-3528
