title: 'caviarpd: Cluster Analysis via Random Partition Distributions'
version: 0.3.24
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.caviarpd
abstract: Cluster analysis is performed using pairwise distance information and a
  random partition distribution. The method is implemented for two random partition
  distributions. It draws samples and then obtains and plots clustering estimates.
  An implementation of a selection algorithm is provided for the mass parameter of
  the partition distribution. Since pairwise distances are the principal input to
  this procedure, it is most comparable to the hierarchical and k-medoids clustering
  methods. The method is Dahl, Andros, Carter (2022+) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sam.11602>.
