doi: 10.1111/itor.12395
abstract: Implements outranking-based trace clustering for process mining. Pairwise
  similarity between traces is assessed on multiple, problem-specific criteria using
  ELECTRE-III-style partial concordance and discordance indices with indifference,
  similarity and veto thresholds. The aggregated credibility matrix is then clustered
  using normalized spectral clustering or hierarchical clustering. Also includes outlier
  trimming, must-link/cannot-link adjustments, validation indices and diagnostic plots.
