title: 'matchednull: Matched-Null Tests for Cluster-Count Claims'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: 'Builds Gaussian-copula matched nulls: synthetic twins of a dataset that
  preserve every marginal distribution and the full correlation matrix while containing
  no cluster structure by construction. A reported number of clusters or "types" can
  then be tested against what the data''s own margins and covariance already produce,
  using any clustering pipeline. Implements the matched-null procedure of Meng (2026)
  "Types Without Taxa" <https://osf.io/2ekcg>.'
