title: 'MixedDiversityAnalysis: Analysis and Visualization of Mixed-Trait Dissimilarity'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Provides methods for analysing datasets containing quantitative, qualitative,
  binary, and ordinal traits. Computes mixed-trait dissimilarities and performs hierarchical
  clustering using multiple linkage methods. Supports principal coordinates analysis
  (PCoA), cluster evaluation, trait contribution analysis, and graphical visualization.
  The package facilitates mixed-trait diversity assessment and characterization of
  crop germplasm. For more detail see Gower (1971) <https://doi.org/10.2307/2528823>
