title: 'clusterability: Performs Tests for Cluster Tendency of a Data Set'
version: 0.2.3.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.clusterability
abstract: Test for cluster tendency (clusterability) of a data set. The methods implemented
  - reducing the data set to a single dimension using principal component analysis
  or computing pairwise distances, and performing a multimodality test like the Dip
  Test or Silverman's Critical Bandwidth Test - are described in Adolfsson, Ackerman,
  and Brownstein (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2018.10.026> and Laborde
  et al. (2023) <https://doi.org/ 10.1186/s12859-023-05210-6>. Such methods can inform
  whether clustering algorithms are appropriate for a data set.
